Separate parentheses instead of a single

Post by kga1978 »

Hi,

I'm working in Word 2011 with BE 12.0.6. I have noticed that when I have multiple citations after each other BE treats them as individual citations and give them their own parentheses. For example:

Unformatted:
{Troup et al., 1970, #5398}{McCormick and Fisher-Hoch, 2002, #8457}{Asogun et al., 2012, #101748}.

Formatted:
(1) (2) (3)

However, the correct format is (1-3). I also get this when I have two citations - I get (1) (2), instead of (1, 2). I am currently using the Science format, but I get this whatever format I'm using.

How do I get BE to format this correctly?

You can't have any spaces between the citations or Bookends will treat them as separate (Word sometimes "helpfully" adds them -- remove them).

Of course the foolproof way is to use citation groups:

{cite1; cite2; cite3}
