Hi All,
I got really quick and immediate response from Thomson Reuters staff about the phenomenon I was experiencing, so let me share the things I figured.
OpenOffice Writer uses so called “Bookmark”, and I can view them from View>Navigator>Bookmark. What it shows is something like grayed text in Word, but I click each Endnote bookmark, and it displays where it is located.
When I click the Endnote Bibliography, which is the list of references at the end of the document, the bookmakr actually includes the title and the line above the title. When I have the cursor above the bibliography title, because I am “inside” the endnote bibliography bookmark, I am not able to insert a reference. Even the word/sentences I type in, are all gone after pressing “format” button.
Now, I figured why it happens, but I still have a question. Why the line above the title is still Endnote bookmark? If somebody doesn’t know, this would happen again and again. Say for example, somebody type long long paragraph just above the bibliography title, including many references (by traditional ctrl+c and ctrl+v), and as soon as hitting Format button from CWYW bar, the long long paragraph and references all disappears! Isn’t that frustrating?
I understood why this happened, but I can’t agree how it is made. To avoid this problem, I actually need to hit enter a couple of times always at the end of the text, just to make sure I’m not within the endnote bookmark, which is a very strange command. Don’t you agree? >Dear Thomson Reuters staffs
Best regards,
Btw,
>jessicaparis,
Would you take a look at your bookmarks from Navigator, just to see where you are inserting new references? It could be due to a similar problem…I guess.
