Open Office multiple sources confusion

svetlovska · January 3, 2009

Hi Apologies for what I'm sure is a noob q, but how do I insert multiple citations in-line in my open office doc using the plug-in? I go into the 'insert citation' dialog, select miltiple sources, which opens what looks like a list window on the right, select more than one reference... and nada. I've tried holding down ctrl, shift, copy n paste, everything, seached the forums, just can't work out how to do it.I know the answer is going to b obvious, but I don't have it. Anyone help?

you need to click the little arrow pointing to the right that's between the 2nd and 3rd column of the window for each citation, which then gets included in the 3rd column. That means one mouseclick per citation which I agree isn't ideal, but for the most part OK, no? (obviously, then, use the arrow pointing left to remove citations from a multiple citation list)
The cool part about this is that it allows you to include prefix and suffix as well as page numbers for each of the multiple citations.
