The Bibliography Layout Tab

When you select Subject Bibliography from the Tools menu to format a subject bibliography or subject list, a Layout button is available to display a Configure Subject Bibliography dialog and change settings. This topic describes the Bibliography Layout tab available on that dialog.

The options available on the Bibliography Layout tab affect only the bibliographic references printed in a subject bibliography. These settings are not used when you print a simple subject list.

Note: When you select an output style, the settings on this tab change to reflect the settings found in the output style. You can override those settings for this session, but changes to this tab are not saved after you close the subject bibliography window. If you want to make the changes permanent, edit the output style. You can make a copy of the output style to edit specifically for subject bibliographies.

Starting and Ending Each Reference with a Special Character or Text

Use the "Start each reference with" and the "End each reference with" text boxes to enter fields, text, or punctuation to print before and after every formatted reference.

Simply click in one of the text boxes and type text. You can use the Insert Field button to enter control characters or fields of information as described below.

End of Paragraph inserts a paragraph marker, which moves the following text to the next line.

Tab inserts a tab character. The spacing for tabs is determined by the ruler settings in your word processor.

Forced Separation inserts a vertical bar. Use vertical bars to attach punctuation to a specific field, so that if the field is empty the punctuation will not print.

For example, to include the text "Note: " before the note field, first insert a vertical bar, type the text "Note: ", insert the Notes field, then insert another vertical bar. Your "Notes: " text will print only when a Notes field contains information, and not when it is empty.

Link Adjacent Text keeps text together so that it will not be broken between lines or pages.

Singular/Plural changes between the singular and plural version of a word, such as editor versus editors.

Reference Type prints the Reference Type (such as Journal Article or Book) of each reference.

Label prints the label field from each reference.

Citation prints the in-text citation form of each reference.

Bibliography Number prints the sequential number assigned to the reference in the sorted list below each heading.

Record Number prints the unique EndNote record number from each reference.

Label prints the Label field from each reference.

Keywords prints the entire Keywords field for each reference.

Abstract prints the Abstract field from each reference.

Notes prints the Notes field from each reference.

Record Number prints the unique EndNote record number from each reference.

Setting a Hanging Indent

Use the drop-down list to apply a hanging indent to paragraphs in each formatted reference.

Numbering References

Enter a starting reference number for bibliographic references printing below each heading. This setting is ignored if reference numbering is not applied from the current output style.
