Inserting page breaks between references
Author: Paul Falzer    Posted: 09/06/2001 14:44:05 GDT
Martha asks for the easiest way to print all references from a library, each on its own page: Export the file to MS Word, select all (Ctrl-A), right click to bring up the context menu, select "paragraph," then "line and page breaks," and check the "page break before" box. Voila.

Paul, There were many suggestions to help Martha, including my own, but this has truly got to be the simplest!

Except that it only works when each exported reference is limited to a single paragraph, with no paragraph breaks between.

Martha here. I want to thank everyone helping with the page break ability. Paul's recent response looks like the easiest, but on my Mac I get as far as choosing "Page break before," but I can't see a way to select a unique identifier the breaks should go before, so it breaks before every line. Mac Word's Help menu doesn't seem to have a way to force breaks before unique identifiers. Find and Replace is not too bad if you don't have a ton of references to do this with. I'll have to decide what's better: using Find and Replace, or creating sub-libraries for a more general topic on the fly. I think I'd rather use Find and Replace than have more libraries to locate for any one project. I'm new to EndNote and surprised this feature hasn't been incorporated into EndNote ‹ as in print a library directly from EndNote with page breaks before references. The page breaks make it so much easier to organize references by subtopic when reviewing them in hard copy, and then to work with them while drafting. Kudos to EndNote, though, for so many other great features ‹ looking forward to Mac 5! Martha Bowes Freelance Researcher and Editor

I hadn't spotted that subtlety, as I had only tested it on a simple bibliography. If you wanted to include, for example, the abstract, additional paragraph breaks would likely be present. Here, as you so rightly indicate, it doesn't work. Peter Peter A.

Not to do this subject to death, but here's a way that seems to work OK and is not troubled by paragraph braks within one reference: 1. Edit your (export) Style to add a line of improbable characters at the end of the template for each reference type. I used ***** in a trial. For example, the template for a Journal Article in the Author-Date style might look like this: Author (Year). ³Title.² Journal| Volume|(Issue)|: Pages|. Add another line to it so that it becomes: Author (Year). ³Title.² Journal| Volume|(Issue)|: Pages|. ***** 2. Do the same for the templates for other reference types that you wish to export. 3. Then select the references you want to export, and using the modified Style export them to an RTF file. 4. Open the exported RTF file in your word processor and do a Find and Replace, replacing all occurrences of the character string ***** with a page break. In Word, for example, replace '*****' with '^m'. That should do it. You can tidy the output a bit better by instead replacing '^p*****^p^p' with '^m' (to remove blank lines at the head of each output page). You may have to experiment a little with that, depending on which Style you are using.

Endnote indents successive paragraphs of a single reference, but a new reference begins flush against the left margin. Look at an exported .RTF file in a text editor. You'll see that prior to a new reference, whether it's preceded by a single paragraph or multiple paragraphs, there is a new line with "\par\pard" followed by a space then a carriage return (without the quote marks). The preceding line ends with "\par\pard" followed by a space then a carriage return. These markers should be all you need to execute a appropriate find and replace to put a page break between references.

I think the format described is idiosyncratic, unfortunately: it depends on how you have set up the output Template and Layout Fields in EndNote. The commands "\par\pard" tell the RTF reader (eg Word) to insert new paragraphs (\pard simply means default paragraph). If you have other paragraph breaks scattered through your bibliography, you will have several more "\par\pard" commands included in the output, so replacing them with page breaks will not be what you want. However if you don't mind working with a text editor, the desired result can be obtained by typing "\page" at the end of the Template or Layout field in EndNote (Edit Output Display). EndNote will neutralize this command by doubling the backslash, forming "\\page". All you have to do is replace the double with a single backslash, and you have a valid pagebreak that Word and other RTF readers will obey.
