Dear all, I have two inter-related questions. I would like to change - in blocks, not one at a time - my Citation References. I have looked at TMG Utility, with which I am familiar, and know how, for example, to change parts of Source Abbreviations, etc. using Search & Replace but I cannot see a way of doing the same with Citation Reference. Moreover, for some strange reason to do with my lack of understanding when I started with TMG 15 years ago, I have always used the same Citation Reference as the Source Abbreviation, which only now seems to be quite wrong, or at least unnecessary. So, alternatively, it seems to make even more sense to just blank out my Citation References, as they only duplicate the corresponding Source Abbreviation! Can anyone advise/help please? Nigel Brown

Nigel, I don't see a way to change the Citation Reference with the Search and Replace function either. But you can with the Citation > Change Citation Parts function. But the first question is what change to you want to make? I think you are saying that the Citation Reference is the same as the Source Abbreviation, and thus unneeded. If that's the case I agree. One solution is to just ignore them. What harm does it do? If you want to delete all of them you can use the Change Citation Parts funtion. I think the "Rules" you need are: Filter: If Reference is not empty Action: Change Reference set to and leave the text field at the end empty. Of course, test with the log only option before running it on your Project. Terry Reigel
