Going from APA formatted list into bookends

Is there a import format/filter within Bookends that can take a formatted list (such as APA 5th Ed: the reference list at the end of the journal) and split the reference up into the appropriate fields and import them into bookends?

If there isn't a standard filter, how do I set one up?

Thanks

Hi,

There is no such filter.

There is a section in the User Guide that tell you have one might approach creating such a filter, but there are lots of caveats and reasons why it won't work well.

Search the user guide pdf for "existing bibliography" and you'll find the section.
