Re: Question about citation formatting

Unfortunately the EndNote dependency rules mean that the
colon is
dependent on the Year field, that is, it appears when the
Year field is
not empty. I suspect that when this produces


(Escobar, 1991


EndNote "cleans up" the colon, but when you have


(Escobar 1991: ; 1995: 14-17)


the clean up does not work, possibly because the semi-colon
is the
citation separator.


I don't see a way to modify the style to do what you want
but I suggest
that the simplest way to produce the citations is to put the
cited pages
in the citation, not the library reference. You can either
edit the
citation and put the : 14-17 in the Suffix field, or just
type the :
14-17 directly into the unformatted citation


{Escobar, 1991 #1063: 14-17}


This will have the additional advantage of being able to
cite the same
work with different pages without creating another library
reference.

Hi there,


I have just subscribed, so sorry if this has come up in the
past or if
the answer is available elsewhere. If so, I haven't found
it.


Using the basic "Author-Date" output style, I have
my EndNote X set up
to display citations as follows:


(Author Year: Cited Pages)


When I don't enter page numbers, it knows to leave out the
colon and
citations just show up as author and year, e.g. (Escobar
1991), which is
exactly the way I want it.


However, when I have several citations or if I add a suffix
to a single
citation, then it sticks in the colon even though there are
no pages and
I'm citing the work as a whole. Thus I get things like:

(Escobar 1991: ; 1995: 14-17) instead of my desired (Escobar
1991; 1995:
14-17)


or (Apffel-Marglin 1991: and references contained therein)
instead of
(Apffel-Marglin 1991 and references contained therein)


Can anyone tell me how to make the insertion of the colon
conditional on
whether I have entered page numbers for that specific
reference?


Thanks very much!
Sincerely,
jamie
