Moving Bibliographies (OpenOffice.org Writer)

Cite While You Write always creates the initial bibliography at the end of the OpenOffice.org Writer document that it has formatted. We recommend that you leave the bibliography at the end of the document, but realize that is not always possible. Below are some options for moving the bibliography to a different location in your paper.

Note: Please back up your document before you begin!

Add Text After the Bibliography

You may want to add text after the bibliography. You can do this, but make sure you are well beyond the end of the bookmarked bibliography field. If you add text to the bibliography field, it will disappear the next time you generate a bibliography.

Copy and Paste the Bibliography

You can copy and paste the bibliography, but it gets tricky! First, highlight the entire bibliography field—but make sure you include the two paragraph markers before the start of the bibliography (or the two paragraph markers before the bibliography title, if you have included one), plus the complete bibliography, plus the paragraph marker after the bibliography. Then, Cut the bibliography and Paste it in the new location.

Note: If you have not selected the complete, bookmarked bibliography field, you will have copied and pasted plain text. The text in the new location will never get updated, and the bibliography in the old location will change as you update citations or reformat the bibliography.

Once you have moved the complete, bookmarked bibliography field to a different location in the document, EndNote keeps it there even when you reformat the paper.
