3. Choose the desired database entry from the list.
Tip: You can always use the Edit button to edit the contents of the database. In
this way you can, for example, add a new entry.
4. As needed, you can enter additional text in the Additional information field –
for example, “page 42”. This text will be displayed behind the reference, separated
by a comma.
5. Confirm with OK.
The reference is now inserted into the text. Depending on the options selected in
the Bibliography Settings dialog, either the abbreviation or the number of the
source will appear in the text (see below).
Proceed as described above each time you want to insert a reference to one of the
sources in your database into your document.
Options for the styles of references
The bibliography settings dialog allows you to change the appearance of references
whenever necessary. For example, you can specify whether they should appear as
abbreviations taken from the database, or as automatically generated numbers.
To change the style of references, invoke Tools > Bibliography > Bibliography
Settings and make the desired settings in the Reference Style group box.
The following options are available:
You can select Use reference field to specify that the references should be
shown as “abbreviations” for the sources, based on entries in the database – for
example [DNA1979].
You can select Number entries to specify that the references should be shown
as numbers, generated automatically – for example [42].
The source for the first reference that you insert receives the number [1], the
source for the second reference receives the number [2], etc.
Note: When you switch from one of these options to the other, the appearance
of all the references in the document immediately changes in accordance
with your selection. On the other hand, the bibliography itself (if it already
exists) will not reflect your changes until you update it (see section
“Updating tables of references” beginning on page 413).
