OK folks, here's a question I don't believe I've seen here before:

One of the nice features of EndNote (and esp with the PIM) is that you can format
a generically-written paper with references into any one of many possible styles,
such that its bibliography and citations become specifically tailored for a
particular journal, etc.  In my cases, formatting of the bibliography is never
a problem.  However, formatting of the in-text citations can be incorrect for
certain journal specifications, depending on how I layout my generic version of
my paper.  For example, some journals require bracketed citations, as in:

    ...blah blah blah blah blah [3,5-8].

In this case, the citations are placed *before* the sentence's punctuation mark.
However, other journals require superscripted citations, as in:

                                3,5-8
    ...blah blah blah blah blah.

Here, the citations are placed *after* the sentence's punctuation.

So, the question is: how can I write my generic paper so that it formats my
citations correctly, depending on the particular format style chosen?  Unless
I've missed something in the EndNote documentation, I can't figure out a
universal solution.  Can you?

Thanks a bunch for any and all suggestions,
==Matthew
