People asking about this may have already looked at this, but it's worth mentioning: the wiki provides information about how to build an export template, and also provides some examples that can be imported. See:
http://bibdesk.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Export_Templates You can create a way to export your records to rtf or other formats, which you can then cut and paste into your word processing document for the "works cited" page. As for inserting the references in the text, you have to do that yourself as you write. Frankly, I have never found Endnote's automatic formatting of citations and references to be quite good enough. It seems always to mess up on the more complicated references, and you have to remember lots of rules about how to enter the in-text citation in order to get it to come out right, almost as hard as formatting it yourself. -Adam On Oct 7, 2007, at 5:36 PM, Simon Spiegel wrote: > > On 07.10.2007, at 23:25, Niels Kobschätzki wrote: > >> On Oct 7, 2007, at 11:13 PM, Ingrid Giffin wrote: >> >>> I second that.
