What happened to citations?!

Dwayne Justice

I understand the issue with the new Microsoft not communicating correctly with LOGOS so we have to do the whole right-click, paste as unformatted text, deal. However, now all of a sudden when I paste something from Logos to word, the page number no longer shows up in the citation. Since the books in Logos normally do not show page numbers, how am I supposed to accurately cite my sources with out page numbers?! Has anybody found a fix for this? Thank you.

For Vyrso books, they will often not have page numbers. But for Logos books, often they do, but not always. Make sure your footnotes format hasn't changed (perhaps you are unknowingly now exporting to a format that doesn't include page numbers?? IDK.).

I usually just use "n.p." when I come across this situation, or use a section heading or milestone as my reference point, much like is acceptable with dictionary entries.

Do you have a few specific entries you can post. I can try to replicate the entries and see if I have page numbers. Chances are that it's just resources that do not include page numbers, though.

Most of the references I am trying to use are from Vyrso books, so that is probably the problem. I never realized that happened. I have been writing college papers using Logos for years, and I don't remember this ever being a problem until recently. I am currently writing a paper for my Christian ethics class on Christian's use of social media. As  you can imagine, there are not many (if any) Logos resources that touch on that subject, so I am using mostly Vyrso resources. If you are interested, here is my initial bibliography:

I'm sorry that I missed what you were saying earlier, but bibliographic entries usually do not include page numbers; only footnotes (Chicago, Turabian, etc) or parenthetical entries (MLA, etc) will include page numbers. This is most often omitted in bibliographies or works cited. I can't think of a style that would include page numbers in the bibliography....although I am only familiar with Chicago, Turabian, and MLA mostly. 

As for your Christianity Today source, the footnote does actually include the page number:   Christianity Today (Carol Stream, IL: Christianity Today International, 2007), 11.

However, the author, article name, and issue number are missing from the citation footnote and bibliography. Not sure why, since it is a Logos edition and not a Vyrso edition. 

Again, note that, even in footnotes, you won't get the page numbers for most Vyrso books since they are not shipped with page numbers. I usually have to find the page number from Amazon. Crappy, I know.

Yeah, in my original post I was referring to footnotes, not my bibliography. I was just giving my bibliography because it was the easiest way to give you an idea of the kinds of resources I am using for the paper. You mention using Amazon for page numbers. How does that work? Do you just have to hope that the page number you are using is in the "sneak peak," Or is there a more sure fire way to get that information? Thank you for your help, sir. 

P.S. we do use Turabian at Wayland. I use to find the formatting very difficult, but I am pretty much used to it by now.

Sometimes you can use the "look inside" feature of amazon or google books to find page numbers. With that said, you should inquire of your instructor how to cite sources w/o page numbers.

As Alabama said, check with your prof regarding your school's style guide. I have found if I "bring a solution" and ask if it is acceptable, I get a quicker reply than "I'll check on it and get back with you."

I've found that several Turabian resources report that page numbers are optional when citing Ebooks.

Very helpful information, guys! Thank you all very much!

!!!!!!!!!!SOLVED!!!!!!!!!! Whether it was a Logos or a Microsoft fix, I do not know, but as I was writing a paper for school today, the automatic citations were working again. Whatever team solved this pain in the neck problem, THANK YOU!
