could you pls offer some guidance? I needed to change to output style from APA to Chicago, which I did as I noticed the references list was properly changed. But back in the texts, all citaitons vanished! why?
for example: text text text (Author, year) , once i changed output stype i had instead text text text (space) with nothing.
There are several different Chicago output styles and it sounds like you selected the one that generates footnotes and the bibliography - that’s why your in-text citations have disappeared. If you want to use the Chicago output style that generates in-text citations and bibliography use the “Chicago 16th Author-Date” output style.
I think the problem might be more than the style. Isn’t Chicago a footnote style? You will need to insert footnotes using the word processor and insert the citations in the footnotes. – there isn’t a citation template. It is a footnote template.
