Urgent question: help needed: comma's and spaces in footnotes error

hi all, i would really apreciate your help on this one. 

I am using the chicago 15 /16a output styles for footnotes in a terribly large document with over 1000 footnotes. 

For some reason, whenever a book is mentioned the output style makes the following error: 

after the book title there should be a comma followed by a space and then pp. x-y. however, it does not create this comma and worse yet, it does not allow me to insert a comma. It automatically removes such a comma after the title thus forcing me to enter a space, then comma, space pp. x-y

in short it should be this: 

Arendt and Kohn, eds., Essays in Understanding 1930-1954: Formation, Exile, and Totalitarianism, pp. 368-391

but it forces me to do this

Arendt and Kohn, eds., Essays in Understanding 1930-1954: Formation, Exile, and Totalitarianism , pp. 368-391

The only way i have found to go about this is to convert the endnote fields to plain text, thus rendering the entire document “flat” and losing endnote functionality. Any ideas?? thanks so much for your help in advance!!!

Hello,

How are you adding your cited pages?  When you insert the citation in the footnote, you should be right-clicking and selecting “Edit Citation” and “More”.  Then in the “Pages” line in the edit citation window you can add the pp. 368-391.  Don’t add the comma, since the formatter already knows it is supposed to be there.

The result should be the correct format with the comma after the title and the pp. 368-391 in the correct format.

hi there, thanks for the info!!! 

I will delete the other posts. 

I am by no means an expert on Endnote use. I insert the footnotes by choosing  “insert citation”  and finding the appripriate reference. 

I’ll give your answer a try and see if it works. Many thanks for your help. David
