Copying a source with citation

Rod

Is there a way to copy a reference work and have it automatically put the citation of the work in the pasted text?

HI Rod

Using Pages just highlight the passage - right click - select "Copy'' with "Selection" set and then paste into your document.

Make sure "Copy Citations" is set in Preferences

As far as I know.

However I seem to remember that Pages will convert footnotes to endnotes - but I may be wrong.

There is one more option. It is a couple extra steps, but may be helpful. You can copy the text you want to use to a Clipping. The citation is on the back of the citation separately with its own Copy button. You can copy the citation and paste it into a bibliography rather than trying to convert the footnote. You also then have a Clippings file of all the items you pasted for future use.

This clippings work-around did the trick for now.

But why would Logos of the option in it's preferences, to cite citations - and then not do it? It's a bug, isn't it?

Which word processor are you using? I do not have the latest version of Pages, but automatic footnotes are not created in Pages 08. MS Word 2008 does create automatic footnotes.

Curious about resource being copied ?

Using Logos 4.5b RC 2 (current Beta) on Mac OS X 10.6.8, learned copy from a resource then paste into TextEdit does not have a footnote citation. In contrast, copy and paste into Microsoft Word 2011 (14.1.4), Pages '09 (version 4.1), and LibreOffice Writer (3.5.0rc3 that needs updating) created a footnote with resource citation.
