I have a file with Turabian Author-Date data which I would like to import. But if a choose import filter manager I can't select this format. How do I do this?

Because there is no such filter. You'll have to design one yourself -- the User Guide tells you how to go about this generally (it's often not perfect) -- see the section on importing an existing bibliography.

ok, but how do you find the return character with Mellel?

Bookends can only import from text files, not word processor files. So save as text only first.

I'm trying to do this with Mellel:
If you have an unnumbered bibliography to import, you can easily change it in your word
processor by doing a global Find and Replace, Finding Returns and Replacing them with,
for example,
return Ref:
(that is, [return character] [space] Ref: [space])

I see. I don't know. You'll have to look in the Mellel docs, or maybe someone else can answer this.
