I’m using Turabian 9 on Endnote X9, Microsoft Word 2010 on Windows 11.
For example, footnotes 9 and 10:
I’ve tried editing the Templates on the Style Manager, but I can’t seem to fix the double spaces whenever the reference is a Book Section or Electronic Book Section (but it is fine for any other reference type).
Interestingly, the resource’s first entry (unshortened) doesn’t run into this problem… Footnote 3 is the same resource as pictured previously:
Replace the , space in yellow with the separation, comma, link adjacent items like in front of Cited pages. The comma and space are being included even when the “Title” field is being omited per the second blue checkmark to omit unless needed for disambugation. so endnote shows a comma space then realizes the second punctuation is not needed and the link adjacent space before cited pages, so you get two spaces but not the two commas. It is smart enough on punctuation duplication but not space duplication.
Thanks Leanne! Sorry I’m having trouble understanding your instruction. is this what you mean? A screenshot of the correct format so i can duplicate it would be super! =D
Is this what you mean? But the double spaces still remain.
nope -
Unfortunately I am going out of town, and don’t have access to my endnote program at home. It should look more like this, where the the “link adjacent space” is represented by the *
Author|,*“Title,”|inBook Title|,*Cited Pages|.
{note – I edited and fixed the above removing the quotes and adding a separation character}
Then when there is no Title, there will be no extra space.
Thanks so much for replying even though you are travelling soon. Guess I’ll have to wait for you to have access to the computer, as I’m probably misunderstanding your instruction.
This is what I’m using and it hasn’t solved the issue yet…
yes, you did what I said, but not what I meant! LOL. the " at the end shouldn’t be there. I am traveling so the output style is still on my machine at work. If you attach your output style to the message, if you can, (sometimes it disallows certain file types, and not sure they fixed that here for output styles) I can try to edit it and upload it back? I wonder f it is inserting the Title field but erasing it, and leaving the space? Do you ever need that disambiguation? If not, I would delete the title and book fields and see if that removes the extra space?
I’m not sure how to do so, perhaps will wait until you are back from your travels? Please and thanks!
try this
Author|,*“Title,”|in Book Title|,*Cited Pages|.
Okay. I download Turabian 9 footnote, and I added several examples in my library of book sections, and I always get the book title in the short form - but not the title. So next question is how are your records recorded in the library. I am assuming that you have a book title for each book section record? If so, the way the short title is set up, it would display the book title? I don’t see “in” before the book title of the Burge citation you cited in the full footnote.

the way the footnotes show up
If so, no matter how I play around, I never get an extra space. I moved the book title to add to the title, and as long as there is a link adjacent space between In and book title, I don’t get any extra spaces.
And lastly, how are you adding the cited pages and are there any spaces there?
And going over your examples in the footnotes, your title isn’t showing up in quotes in the first use of Burge, which is also in the template you were screen copying? I you saving the output style to a new name and using the newly named style in the word document?

this was my last footnote output style I was playing with… You can download it and trial it?
Here’s the book information i have currently. Will try if changing it from electronic to non-electronic will work:
Thanks Leanne i’ll try my hand at incorporating your responses!
there are no electronic book section templates in the Turabian style I downloaded. Electronic sources would be similar to book section, but (in the bibliography anyway) would usually include a URL or other way to access the electronic publication, like those in the Electronic book templates. Right now, if you haven’t added an Electronic book section template, it would rely on the “generic templates”. That one doesn’t have the book title, so that would explain why it wasn’t showing up in your footnote.
