Here is an example of what it may look like. Georges Sarrazin
Footnotes and/or reference lists may contain the abbreviations Ibid. And/or op. Cit. DEFINITIONS Ibid. (abbreviation for the Latin Ibidem, meaning "The same"). Refers to the same author and source (e.G., book, journal) in the immediately preceding reference. Op. Cit. (abbreviation for the Latin opus citatum, meaning "the work cited") Refers to the reference listed earlier by the same author. Ibid. Refers to the immediately preceding reference; op. Cit. Refers to the prior reference by the same author. EXAMPLES R. Poirer, "Learning physics," (Academic, New York, 1993), p. 4. Ibid., p. 9. T. Eliot, "Astrophysics," (Springer, Berlin, 1989), p. 141. R. Builder, J Phys Chem 20(3) 1654-57, 1991. Eliot, op. Cit., p.148. IDENTIFYING THE SOURCE Where Ibid. Appears, The source is listed in the immediately preceeding reference. For reference # 5 in the list above, the source is listed in # 4 (Poirer, Learning Physics"). Where op. Cit. Appears, The source is listed in the previous reference by the same author. For reference # 8 in the list above, the author is Eliot and reference # 6 is by Eliot so the source is "Astrophysics". -------Original Message------- From: Ara Call Date: 2015-08-12 15:00:33 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] opsit or ibid use If no changes are made to the citation it is repeated multiple times on the report with the same number. That is not quite what you are asking for but I frequently use exactly the same citation multiple times. They all appear on the report with the same citation number. Ara Call From: JAS POWELL [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, August 12, 2015 10:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] opsit or ibid use Sometimes when printing a family group sheet or any other report where source citations are used, I have a long list of the same sources listed in the report. In the help files, source citation customized, it says that ibid is only used in basic style sources. It would streamline source citation in a report if one could use ibid or op cit or any other appropriate abrev., as used in reports elsewhere. Is there any way to streamline Legacy's reports in reference to source citation?
