Generating Footnotes

[mchapman]

I am trying to generate a document that uses footnotes using the Chicago 15th A Footnotes format.

Initially I received in text citations rather than footnotes.

After a bit of tweaking it numbers the references and uses those numbers in the text. This is not at all what I want.

I want the citations to be regular Word footnotes interspersed with footnotes that are comments.

How do I get Bookends to generate these?

Thanks,

Mark

Hi,

If I understand you, you need to create a footnote in Word. Then insert the Bookends temporary citation in that footnote. When you scan with Chicago 15th (not Chicago 15th A Footnotes), you'll get your footnotes. Chicago 15th A Footnotes is a custom citation format, which Chicago 15th calls upon to create the footnotes.

Ah.

I think I get it. Bookends does not create footnotes. Rather it puts the correct format in already existing footnotes.

I have written the paper with in text citations and now want them to be footnotes. If I understand you correctly I will need to manual create a footnote for each of those citations which Bookends will then format correctly. I had hoped that I could just choose a footnote format and footnotes would be generated. Oh Well.

Thanks,

Mark

You have it now. Bookends can't actually create a footnote in Word -- Word has to do that. But Bookends will format temp citations in Word footnotes to create the final footnotes.
