Is there a way to turn 'ibid' on and off?

I uses Mellel and Bookends (an awesome combo!!).

I generally use Ibid for repeated references. But, occasionally, it doesn't fit the note.

Is there a way to force Bookends to cite the reference and not use Ibid?

Thanks,

Hi,

Sure. In the format, go to the second tab and uncheck "Use Ibid."

Jon,

Thanks for the quick reply, but I didn't explain well.

In a document I want Bookends to normally use Ibid, but occasionally I want to use the full reference.

In other words, in a Mellel document, I want Bookends to use Ibid by default, but I want to override Ibid on rare occasion.

(When I uncheck "Use Ibid," it turns it off for the whole document. I want to turn it on and off within the same document.)

Is that possible.

No, I don't think so. In those instances, you could Copy Formatted instead (which places the final, formatted citation instead of the temporary one).

Thanks Jon. That's what I suspected, but wanted to double check.

BTW, thanks for the totally awesome support. You're amazing!!!!!!!

Best,
