Subject Bibliography Layout Tab

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 the current 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.

Use the Insert Field buttons to insert these control characters in a text box:

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 inserts a non-breaking space.
