I have been having trouble with CWYW properly inserting “idem.” It is supposed to be used when you cite the same author more than once in the same footnote. When I was just using X4 without updates, it was not coming up at all even though the style has the option checked. I recently updated to X4.0.2 and now “idem” is everywhere! Each new footnote referring to the same author is starting with “idem.” I don’t think this is correct. I didn’t have this problem using X4.0.1 with Word 2003. Any suggestions?
I was able to replicate the issue with your description, thank you.
We recentely added some formatting within the footnotes citation formatting. The logic, however was not based on this specific scenario.
EndNote is not capable of formatting the idem correctly at this time but we have added a suggestion to enhance the current logic so that the idem does print correctly when the author repeats in the “same” footnote.
To work aroudn this issue, I changed the formatting for the authors to remove the repeated author and then I used the “edit citation” to add the page numbers and the abbreviation idem. to the citation.
I think that I tried the work around correctly. I notice that I have to enter manually the author’s name when I edit citations for those that would have mistakenly printed “idem.” Is that correct?
I have attached my modified Turabian Bibliography Style as well. If the helps.
