How to edit the Chicago 16th Style in a better way?

ITEMS #1 and #2:“Find and replace” isn’t a current option when modifying the citation/bibliographic templates but modifying the templates requires careful scrutiny rather than a quck change.  The reason is that the templates are carefully constructed so that commas and full-stops (periods) will either be displayed or not displayed depending upon what’s in the corresponding EndNote fields in the reference type.

To modify the book template, it might be helpful to first begin by deleting unused fields (i.e., fields which are not in used by the current references - for example, if your references do not involve Translated Title, Translated by Translator, etc; then delete the fields).  Once the “clutter” has been removed, it’ll be easier to determine what should be changed.  An alternative method would be to build the template from scratch by clearing out the template then re-constructing it based on the fields represented by your current references.

As an example of modifying the Book template, see the attached output file. Commas were inserted to achieve the effect of your “Lyons” entry along with the pages listed at the end (refer to bottom of attached image).  Full-stops (periods) were repositioned inside the “Forced Separations” and may impact other references so check other references to see if the template changes are correct, if not, further modification is needed.

ITEM #3: The reference title may be changed via EndNote’s “Format Bibliography” dialog box which is accessed via MS Word.  (Refer to attached image for directions.)  The dialog box allows renaming the title but does not permit changing the alignment from center to left.  Suggest leaving the title blank and just manually typing in “References” then left-aligning it yourself.
