Hi Jon,
Here's an APA poser: When an edited book is cited, the editors' names appear in author format, followed by (Eds.), then the year. But in the bib, the editors names appear as the would when cited in an edited book, e.g., A.B. Smith rather than Smith, A.B. And the behavior is the same for the in-text citation--one gets the whole citation rather than author, year. I tried to changed that by putting "e, d" in the APA Citations format but it doesn't quite do the trick.
BTW, and reason why when I unscan my documen it doesn't do anything--citations and refs are still there. Did I click on something that I shouldn't have?

APA Edited Book
Hi,
Are you saying that for edited books the editors name should be surname first? Easily done.
As for unscanning, does the citation delimiter setting in your Preferences match that in the document (i.e. when the document was scanned)? If so, did you "Retain hidden citations" when you did the scan (I'm assuming you scanned from within Word).

Edited Books
Hi Jon,
Yes. The citation for an edited book would be:
Smith, A. B., & Jones, C. D. (Eds.) (Year.) Title.
In the text citation, it would be (Smith & Jones, Year). As I mentioned, I tried to fix that in the APA Citations bib format but to no avail. I put "e, d" (without quotes) but got this in the example box:
Fredrickson, R. S., & Adamly, A. A. (Eds.). (2001).
(That's pasted from the example box.) Strangely, the entire reference was printed correctly--for the in-text citation.
I'm sure it's simple, and I'm also sure that I'm not doing something right.
BTW, is there any way to get the unformatted citations back?

Re: Edited Books
Right. I checked, too, and have fixed it in the production copy.bbjonz wrote:Yes. The citation for an edited book would be:

I just fixed that here, and it is fine. Make sure you select Edited Book from the popup menu before you make the fix.In the text citation, it would be (Smith & Jones, Year).

If you scanned without retaining hidden citations, then no -- no embedded information was inserted into the Word document, nothing can be restored.BTW, is there any way to get the unformatted citations back?

Hi Jon,
Some of the unformatted citations came back, others did not. When I told Word to display field codes, this is what appears for citations that were still formatted:
{ADDIN BEC{Stasser and Titus, 2003, #6054}}
The unformatted citations don't have the additional info within the outer brackets (ADDIN BEC).
