Starnge Citation formatting
Author:    Posted: Fri, 7 Oct 2005 18:42:59 -0400 (
Greetings all. I am using Endnote 6.02 with Word 2003 on Windows and am having some problems with formatting of multiple citations I would like to include 2 citations at the end of a sentence. I select them both in End Note and perform an Insert. The unformatted citation looks like this {[Arveiller, 1982 #46;Schiemer, 1998 #49]} When I format the citations, I end up with this (Arveiller 1982, ; Schiemer 1998). How do I get rid of that comma after the first citation?

I haven't seen a reply to this yet. Does this only happen with this particular pair of references? Does it happen with other styles? I suspect that the extra , has gotten placed in the Multiple citation separator in the citations template in the style (if always happens) If it specific to this pair of references, maybe something (invisible) has gotten into the "after" box in the edit citation dialogue, or the "cited pages" has some spaces in the field and cited pages is included in the citation style. What style are you using and have you edited it (I guess you have edited it because you have both curley and square brackets around your citation, and that is unusual)?

Sounds to me like a style problem; if your style doesn't use link adjacents and forced separations correctly then you can easily end up with stray commas. The other potential problem (and this is very far into Left Field) is that your multiple citations separator is set up to give ", ;". Check in the Edit/Output Style/Edit <current style>/Citations (/Footnotes)/Templates to see what is in the box with that label. -----Original Message----- From: /> On Behalf Of /> Sent: Wednesday, October 12, 2005 7:57 AM To: /> Subject: RE: Starnge Citation formatting I haven't seen a reply to this yet.

I needed to have the comma linked to the "Link adjacent Text" for the page Number Thanks -- Angelo Fraietta PO Box 859 Hamilton NSW 2303 Home Page http://www.smartcontroller.com.au/~angelo/ There are those who seek knowledge for the sake of knowledge - that is CURIOSITY There are those who seek knowledge to be known by others - that is VANITY There are those who seek knowledge in order to serve - that is LOVE Bernard of Clairvaux (1090 - 1153)
