author-date page numbers in EN 5 (Mac)
Author: Steve Mason    Posted: 17/09/2001 19:02:20 GDT
This must be a common problem, but I've just joined so please forgive. When I enter in-text references with Cite-While-You-Write (EN 5) in MS Word (98, Mac), and then, following the author and year reference, I try to insert the specific page references that I need, they do not take. That is, the program seems to accept them, even if I move the cursor about and click here and there. But after a minute or two, I look back and my hard-won page numbers (now needing to be looked up again!) have disappeared from the in-text reference. I understand that we need to set the parameters for each output style in Preferences. This I have done, tweaking the factory settings. That seems to work. But I see no option there for allowing my insertion of specific page numbers relevant to what I am talking about. (I can direct it to include the pages recorded in the reference for the whole article or book, but that is not what I need in a particular reference.) If anyone can help me out of this I'd be extremely grateful, since I have wasted several hours with the problem. Steve Mason, Toronto

Hi Steve In the PC version you have an option to edit the citation from a button on the endnote toolbar which gives a dialog box for prefix and suffix. Don't know if this is the same in Mac.

In EN 4 it is only possible to modify UNFORMATTED citations (ch. 10 of the EN 4 manual gives a list of examples of modified citations). I don't know EN 5, but I suppose the same procedure here.
