How to? "Multiple" citations (Word Plugin)
Hello,
Is there a way to convert individual references into multiple references??
For example, lif you have a citation in your document:
... It is a test [1].
But then you find more references you have to add them so it would now be multiple citations:
... another test [1, 3, 5]
or
... another test [1-3]
or
... another test [1-3, 5]
but instead you get:
... another test [1][3][5] (with separate citations)
or
... another test [1][2][3] (with separate citations)
or
... another test [1][2][3][5] (with separate citations)
Is there a way merge them into one "multiple" citation?
Thanks, thanks a lot!!!!!

Assuming you are using one of the word processor plugins there is a "multiple sources" button in the "add citation" dialog box. In your case, when you find additional references you would need to place the cursor within the existing citation, click the "edit citation" button, then click "multiple sources" and add the other references.
Thanks a lot, it is exactly what I wanted to do!
While this ability would be nice, I'd argue that in the larger scheme of things it's a pretty rare situation - coming up on very few occasion in regular writing an otherwise just a "beginners' mistake". So I don't think this should be a huge priority - as opposed to, e.g. being able to re-order the items in a multiple citation.
