I’ve already read about editing the “Bibliography Number” suggestion on these forums and that’s not an option on X7 for Mac.
I’m using a new style I made based off of MLA. My thesis committy wants in-text citations to only be a superscript which corresponds to the same number superscript in my Works Cited.
How can I accomlish this? Thank you.
I guess I need to know more to help. What word processor, is this a “Papers” problem or “Word” problem? Why can’t you superscript it on a Mac (what threads did you read on the forum)?
Can you attach your output style?
I am using MLA with the only addition of a URL filed at the end.
I’m writing my thesis in Scrivner and compling it into Word 2011. I then use Endnote’s tools to format the unformatted citations that were inserted in Scrivener and it works without any issue.
I editied the special MLA Citation and Bilbligrophy style to now include a number. For example, after a quote instead of an (Author) reference it just has a “#” that corresponds to my numbered bibliography. However, I need to format these numbers a bold superspricts with brakets around them [2] and I can’t seem to fingure out how to do this without manually formatting each number in Word over and over again.
How about the explaination and JPG in this message.
Oh, thank you! Thank you so much!
I deleted the existing fileds in the Citation Template an replaced it with just “bibliography number.”
Then I went to Bibliography -> Layout -> “Start Each Reference With:” and put “bibliography number.”
I used your link to change each “bibliography number” to bold and superscript and manually typed in the “[]” around it and now it is formatting my paper correctly. Thank you so much for the help.
Just one question, me manually putting in brackets like in the image below shoudln’t mess up any citations when formatting unformatted citations correct? I’m not that good with Endnote as you can tell.
I guess I would need to see it (I didn’t see an image?). I have in the past, not included the “brackets” in the template, but added them in the text itself, if that is what you mean. Then the temporary citation looked like this ({Author, Year #recno}) and formated fine. I think you are doing similar with scrivner? Also, long ago, I used to prefer to insert my record number by hand (predated CWYW and the add-in, so I am showing my age) and this would make my entry invisible, due to the “omit author or year, if omitted from temp citaton” rules, so they included an option (really just for me!) in preferences where you can turn off that option. That might be of use to you? – it is in Preferences, formatting – unticking a box. Mind you – if it is a numbered style anyway, you can probably get away with just using the record number anyway, unless you are syncing via the share option, to multiple machines, which appears to to mess up the “record number” being a unique number between library copies.
That’s strange as I did attach an image.
I added brackets to the template in the output style. Scriviener contains unformatted citations such as {Popper, 2014 #101}. I export the Scrivener file to MS Word and then use the Endnote X7 toolbar to update in-text citations and the bibliogrpahy. It worked find and replaced those unformatted citations with proper ones.
What I wanted is to only have a [101] in the text and not the author(s) name or page number and for that [101] to correspond to bibliography entry number 101.
I went into the template and added [Biliopgraphy Number] to the citation template and Bibliography template.
And what I was asking was: woudl having those brakets in the template cause any issues when updating citations? I don’t see any reason why it would.
Yes, that is exactly the correct way to do it. – do you still need the full stop after the bracketed number in the bibliography layout though? do you want a tab, hanging indent perhaps?
For my work, I believe the full stop is appropriate, but if you had time you could explain how to do the hanging indent and I could test the format. Would it be in the same menu as the suberscripts?
In theory, if the image you showed of the layout is current, you should have hanging indents set already (all paragraphs in lower left of the image). So do you see something like this?

– to get it to look pretty, you need put your cursor after the full stop and go to “insert field” (upper right corner) and select “tab”. Now it should look similar to this after formating.

(added in edit) – If you aren’t seeing this, you can also try to set this from Word’s Endnote ribbon, as in the image attached.
Hello,
I followed the adviced that you posted here. I created a new Outline and I put “Bibliography number” in citation and Bibliography outline. I also want to have number suprascript. When I go to Word it doesn’t show the number in suprascript but only like (1). Which step am I missing?
Thank you

Formatting options are located at the top of the dialog box and become "active " when you select the text to be changed. Just select the text then click the superscripts option – refer to the attached image.
