Citations
Hi all...
I just finished my paper (ya!) and I need to easily cite the resources I used. When I copy / paste into Google Docs or LibraOffice I do not see anything cited. Can't there be just a simple way to right-click on the resource and go, CITE. I've highlight the necessary page numbers in the paper itself. This copying a fake paragraph to get what I need is no fun...
Going to try to export to a file rather than copy to clipboard, maybe that will work.
Needs a little improvement on this front...perhaps though I stink and am using it wrong. Cya.
- Michael
PS: Just tried to export to html, rich text, word, etc. the cites do not appear even though they show on the export screen.
PPS: Works with XPS export.

Michael I just copy/pasted the following into this forum. Notice the citation at the bottom (I changed the font after pasting, to make it clear what I was pasting):
Truly there are many things in this corrupted nature which may induce contempt; but if you rightly weigh all circumstances, man is, among other creatures, a certain pre-eminent specimen of Divine wisdom, justice, and goodness, so that he is deservedly called by the ancients μικρίκοσμος, “a world in miniature.”
John Calvin and John King, Commentary on the First Book of Moses Called Genesis (Bellingham, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc., 2010), Ge 1:26.This always happens when I select text and then copy/paste. Does this not happen for you?
Further, if you're looking for a bibliographic citation, click the little "i" in the circle in the upper right of the pane. Scroll down to the "Citiation" field and you'll see "Copy." You can click that and paste it where you want. Here's an example from that same resource.
Calvin, John and John King. Commentary on the First Book of Moses Called Genesis. Bellingham, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc., 2010.
Note: you'll have to format it properly by adding italics (or underline, if your institution requires it) to the book title (as I did), and double check to make sure it's formatted according to the format required.

Goodness, I am embarrassed! Pretty new user and first paper with it, but I should have caught something that easy! Thanks again.

Glad to help.
Don't be embarrassed, there's a lot I continue to learn -- even things that should be 'obvious.'
