Hi,

I have had this software for a time now, and it comes new versions of it often, which shows that the company really is working on the product. But I haven't really got the snag of it. I have fairly basic needs for my masters degree. I want to use it as my referencesoftware. I have had added the books and articles which I will refer to. It is simple there to doulbe click on the icon copy citaion and woops the citation is in the eassay which is great. But I always refer to the page or pages that the facts are taken from, and their comes the problem. I haven't understood if it is possible to ad that when using the "copy citation" mode. The only way I have solved it is by entering the citaion manuallay e.g. {Wallin, 1998, @32} (Wallin, 1998:32) But that I think is very complicated way of using the software. It feels that I loose all the advantages of beeing able to fetch the correct references from the database.

Has anyone any advice how I can use "copy citation mode" and after that add some information so page refence is included.

Yours

Just waiting to get going with the boring masters that should have been done a few years ago.

Hi,

To add the pages you want to cite, do this:

1. Copy Citation as usual. The citation in you document may now look like this: {Smith, 2005, #12345}

2. In your word processor, add the cited pages: {Smith, 2005, #12345@22}

but wow.. can it be so easy? it doen't get the blue color of the added page, but that maybe doesn't matter.

Really thanx for such a fast reply Jon, great product even if i'm a low end user.

Hi,

You mention a blue color, so I imagine you are using Mellel. In that case, you must open up the citation object (double-click on it) in Mellel and enter the @22 at the end of the citation in the dialog box. Do you see that?

When I copy as usual i get this result

{Boréus, 1994, #92319}

I then add in the end of the above.

hmmm not as it should look...

Jon if you would have been in Sweden, Stockholm I would have given you some glasses of wine.... ahhh thanks, stupid of me, I totally missed out on the double clicking on the blue.

thanks

ps

That's because you put the cited pages outside of the curly brackets. They should be inside, like this:

{Boréus, 1994, #92319@32}

Hi, I've been to Stockholm (not recently, though) and remember it as probably the cleanest city I ever visited (and perhaps the most expensive!). But I had a wonderful time.
