I'd very much appreciate answers to these two questions (I run EndNote on a Mac). (1) If I reference, say, 10 edited books and 5 authors from each book, I'm entering the info. on those 10 books 50 times. Is there a way of getting EndNote to cross-reference the book-description (i.e. .... appearing in ....)? (2) If I have, say, 10 entries for the same author/editor for the same year (even though the other authors are different) EndNote doesn't like it unless I call them 1995a, 1995b etc. Is this the best way of dealing with this? Donald Peterson.

Is there a way of : getting EndNote to cross-reference the book-description (i.e. .... : appearing in ....)? In this situation I would normally have an entry for each edited book, then create a 'book section' reference to use as a template for references to individual chapters within each edited book. Each time I then needed to cite a chapter, copy and paste the template, open then copy and fill in the author, title and page no.s. The other book details will already be filled in from the template. : (2) If I have, say, 10 entries for the same author/editor for the same : year (even though the other authors are different) EndNote doesn't like : it unless I call them 1995a, 1995b etc. Is this the best way of dealing : with this? EndNote will automatically append a, b, c etc to the multiple entries. BUT it decides which will be which on the basis of the alphabetical order with which they appear in the bibliography. I wanted 'a' to be the first ref. cited in the text, 'b' the next etc. but it can't do it. I had to go back and add the letters to my library and re-format. If you do this then keep a copy of your Lib. for future reference - other publications may not require all the same references and so the extra letters will need to be stripped out again. ulli -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dr Ulric Wilson Port Erin Marine Laboratory, University of Liverpool,Port Erin, Isle of Man e-mail ulli@liverpool.ac.uk Tel: +44 (0)1624-832027 Fax: +44 (0)1624-835788 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
