Hi,

I've got to use a harvard in-text type refferencing. It's meant to go… for example.

I'm using the bookends harvard setting. The only thing I must do is manually put the page number in (as the actually entry in bookends is a range of pages). I do this by adding in, say in the above example, It took me a long time to figure this out! And I don't know is it's the best way even. Is it? I'm baffled by the in-text settings of bookends, but seem to understand the biography part OK.

Cheers

The way you are doing pages is fine, but there is also a dedicated mechanism, the at-sign '@'. So your citation would look like this:
{Murray et al. 2004 @6}
and after scanning it could look like this:
(Murray et al. 2004, p.6)

See pages 101-2 of the user's guide (or thereabouts).

Thanks—yes, I forgot to mention the '@'

That's what I thought was the correct proceedure (and am thinking it still is—but not working for me?) I forgot to mention I'm using Mellel too, so {} are not used, instead, the reference is an 'object' which you can double-click on. I spent so long attempting to add the page number with @, but what would happen is (Murray et al. 20046), instead of the required (Murray et al. 2004, p. 6)

Thanks for your reply.

I think you need to set the way that cited pages are displayed in the format you use. It's on the Bib & Citation Options tab at the bottom right. You need something like ", p. ^, pp." (without the quotation marks) in the box labelled 'Before'.

See 'cited pages' in the manual, around page 148.

Yes, that's what was baffling me … but not anymore, thanks.
