Hi Bookends users,
I'm a newbie (goodbye Word and goodbye Endnote!), so please forgive the stupid question.
I have a problem using the "@" for cited pages - when I do the scan it comes out without "p." or "pp." and I don't know why. I'm sorry if this is in the manual, but I have read the cited pages section of it, and looked at some posts too.
A temporary ref might be:
{Minnis, 1995, The Shorter Poems@323-325}
becomes:
A.J. Minnis, The Shorter Poems, 1995323-325
Is there something I need to tell Bookends that I'm using the "@" for cited pages. I'm using the MHRA style, but using the 'author-date' system in footnotes, and have not specified a "Custom Citation Format". This shouldn't matter though, should it.
I'm using Mellel (1.9.1), and Bookends (8.1).
Best, Kenneth
Cited pages using "@" problem
Ok, so I have placed "p.^pp." in the 'cited pages' part of the format I'm using - is that in the manual...I checked again and couldn't see it... There is still a little glitch which I'm sure is easy to fix: there is no space between the year and the pages. There should be a comma and a space. E.g.
Minnis, et al, 1995pp.313-315. I have experimented with the citation and nothing I do changes the output.
Very sorry for more silly question.
Thank you so much for your swift response.

Wow, that's the fastest reply to a tech support post I've ever seen. Guinness Book of Records stuff this.
Super. Solution has been found. Another problem I had was that the comma after year wasn't appearing, e.g.
Minnis, et al, 1995 pp. 313-315 -- instead of Minnis, et al, 1995, pp.313-315.
The solution I have found is to actually put the commas into the cited pages formula, so it reads:
",_p.^,_pp._"
It works. Is it a reasonable solution, or is there a box I've forgotten to tick?
Thank you so much.
