RE: eliminating same author

Theresa,

When you right click on the reference and choose 'edit
citation', the
left pane in the dialogue window will show the two different
references.
When you click 'exclude author', you will remove the author
from the
first reference. You then need to click on the second ref,
in the left
pane, and check the 'exclude author' box again. This should
get rid of
all occurrences of the author.

Subject: Re: eliminating same author

Teresa,

I found that out to, but it still didn't solve this problem.
I am
getting desperate since I need to turn in my dissertation
proposal. 
Anyone else have a fix for the following other than trying
to edit the
output style and change the multiple citations separator? 
It seems like
this should be easy to do.  Here is the problem again:

I have Endnote 8 and am not able to delete the same author
name when it
is listed twice.  For example, I have (Knowles, 1950, 1970)
and want to
only say Knowles (1950, 1970).  But when I eliminate the
author for one
year by editing the reference, it won't let me eliminate the
same author
for the second year.  Instead it shows:
1950; Knowles, 1970). How can I eliminate the same author
name for both
years so it comes out as (1950, 1970)?  This also happens
when I have
the same author for three years. I would appreciate
suggestions.
