Hi David
One way of dealing with your problem of repeating citations
(using the
Book Section ref type examples that you gave) would be to
use a special
character in one of the "Introduction" citations
such as a Unicode "zero
width space" (U+200B). Of course, you would have to put
a note in your
reference data somewhere to remind you of this. Unicode is
supported in
EN9 but, unfortunately not in Word 2004 or prior. So, when I
needed an
"thin space" character (U+2009) between 2 x em
spaces (for consecutive
appearances of multiple authors in Oxford Author-Title
format), Word
2004 couldn't cope and it produced a small rectangle on
screen instead
of the 'thin space' and was useless.
I tested the "zero width space" Unicode character
and it works great in
Mac Word 2004, supposedly because it's zero width.
Here's the steps I took:
* made a duplicate of a Book Section reference (orig was
rec#43 and
duplicate rec#1002);
then tested to see that these behaved as expected (ie EN9
didn't
distinguish between the two copies/duplicates):
* inserted 3 x citations in Word 2004 footnotes as follows:
1st citation: orig rec#43; and
2nd citation: duplicate rec#1002; and
3rd citation: duplicate rec#1002
* formatted citations and got:
1st citation: orig rec#43: FRITH, SIMON and STREET, JOHN,
'Rock Against
Racism and Red Wedge: From Music to Politics, from Politics
to Music',
in Reebee Garofalo (ed.), Rockin' the Boat: Mass music and
mass
movements (Boston: South End Press, 1992), 67-80.
2nd citation: duplicate rec#1002: Ibid
3rd citation: duplicate rec#1002: Ibid.
then in EN9 inserted a "zero width space" (U+200B)
at the end of the
title in rec#1002 and this is what appeared in the Word 2004
footnotes:
1st citation: orig rec#43: FRITH, SIMON and STREET, JOHN,
'Rock Against
Racism and Red Wedge: From Music to Politics, from Politics
to Music',
in Reebee Garofalo (ed.), Rockin' the Boat: Mass music and
mass
movements (Boston: South End Press, 1992), 67-80.
2nd citation: duplicate rec#1002 with "zero width
space" (U+200B):
FRITH, SIMON and STREET, JOHN, 'Rock Against Racism and Red
Wedge: From
Music to Politics, from Politics to Music?', in Reebee
Garofalo (ed.),
Rockin' the Boat: Mass music and mass movements (Boston:
South End
Press, 1992), 67-80.
3rd citation: duplicate rec#1002 with "zero width
space" (U+200B): Ibid.
I was amazed that Word allowed it.
So, yes it would be great if EN could be setup to discern
the
differences such in the examples you gave, but this a
workaround
cheers

Subject: Editing repeated citations
Greetings.
I am using Endnote 9 and have a problem in editing my
repeated
citations, in any output styles. Endnote only gives me the
opportunities
repeating references in consecutive footnotes with
"Ibid." and to choose
to use the short title or not. Earlier discussions on this
list gave
some clues, but did not solve my problems, which is this:
two different
references appear as indistinguishable when repeated. Above
all two
types of references lead to this problem. It should without
problem be
possible to distinguish them in repeated citation, however.
First, say these two references:
Hugh McLeod, "Introduction", in The decline of
Christendom in Western
Europe, 1750-2000, ed. Hugh McLeod and Werner Ustorf (2003).
and
Hugh McLeod, "Introduction", in European religion
in the age of great
cities 1830-1930, ed. Hugh McLeod (1995).
which both appear as
McLeod, "Introduction"
when repeated.
I want them to appear as something like
McLeod, "Introduction", in The decline of
Christendom
or
McLeod, "Introduction" (2003)
- - anything to be able to distinguish between them!
