citation formats

[nordpil]

Hi,

I am trying out EndNote x6 with Microsoft Word 2007 (on Windows). The text I am preparing is using an author-year format (modified Harvard bibliography/citations). I have managed to edit the output style to get the bibliography to look what I need to, more or less.

Now I have a problem in getting the citations in the text to work as they should. In the templates of my selected style, I have the following styles:

**Citation** : (Author|, Year)**Citation - Author (Year)**: Author (|, Year)

 Using this, I have no problems in getting references such as (Smith, 2010) and like Smith (2010).

But how would I go about to get references that work well inside parantheses - like (e.g. Smith, 2010 ). Another case is a mention like (figure 2.2, Smith 2010 ).

Any tips are welcome - thanks!

To illustrate your second example ((figure 2.2, Smith 2010) and Leanne’s first comment see the attached image which illustrates editing an in-text citation using the Prefix field.

Thanks - I actually figured that much out, but it feels like quite a dirty hack to me. Especially since that ‘figure 2.2’ is a reference/field in word, and that wouldn’t work in the ‘prefix’ clause, right?
