I just tried to look up if the manual has any info on this but could not find it, sorry if i missed something...
I have some existing thesis chapters in Word with footnotes made the old-fashioned way (typed them in manually). Now i use Bookends and am working on the chapters. I can insert new citations of course but what to do with the old ones, apart from manually reworking them? Is there another option, has someone tried something else?
I think i know the answer but nevertheless...

what to do with existing docs
I'm still not sure exactly what you want, but know that Bookends will use *any* text in a citation to find the corresponding reference in the database. So, if your footnote now is
Adams, S. What I think. Outdoor Adventures, 2005.
You could "convert" it to a citation by adding curly brackets and a bit of editing:
{Adams S What I think Outdoor Adventures, 2005}
and Bookends should find it on a scan.
