Hi--
I'm new to BE and imagine others have been down this road already.
My in-text citations appear in various forms so I think I need to type what I want to see, then enter a citation and choose “Exclude from final documentâ€
Exclude from final document
Bookends will handle many final citation modifications for you (date-only, cited pages, "quoted text", etc.). But if you find situations where it can't, then excluding from the final citation will do it.
The only way I can think of doing this in Mellel without having to check the appropriate box in the citation dialog is to enter a citation manually, with an exclamation poing (!) immediately after the opening curly bracket. When you have Mellel convert that to a citation object, it should be excluded after a scan.

Jon,
Thanks for your reply.
The trick for me is that even in the same paragraph sometimes I want author and pg. #, sometimes just pg. #, sometimes just author, etc. And I can’t figure out how to adjust the format of a citation ad hoc this way. So it seems best to omit the citation from the final document and just type what I want to see in the final doc.
I think I’ve found the simple and obvious way, but since you didn’t suggest this, I suspect I may be fooling myself.
It seems that choosing “Precede with ! (Do Not Show)â€
