As an alternative, you can put your insertion point where you want the citation to appear in
the Nisus Writer Pro document, and then in Bookends, select the appropriate reference(s) and
choose the menu command Edit > Copy Selected Citations.

This only works if you have, linked Bookends to Nisus Writer Pro, as explained on page 251.
Otherwise the menu does only what it says, it copies the citation to the clipboard without
inserting it in your Nisus Writer Pro document.
Find a particular reference to add to your document
While writing your document in Nisus Writer Pro, you may need to find a particular citation in your
Bookends database. You may be able to scroll through a small list of references. However, if you
have hundreds of references you can search in the database.
1. Choose the menu command Tools > Bibliography > Find Reference.
2. Nisus Writer Pro switches to Bookends which opens a “Search database” window.
3. Enter the search criteria you want and click Find.
For more detailed instructions regarding searching in your Bookends database, please refer to
the Bookends documentation.
4. Once you have found and selected a particular reference, you can insert it into your Nisus
Writer Pro document using the instructions in “Add a citation from your references database to
your document” on page 251.
Insert a formatted bibliography into your document
Bookends can format your bibliography to match a wide variety of publications and standards. Be
sure to read its documentation to learn what you need for your document. When you are ready to
insert the appropriately formatted bibliography into your Nisus Writer Pro document you follow a
two-step process: setting the location of the bibliography and scanning the document for the
citations.
Set the location of your bibliography
You can place your bibliography anywhere you like in your document. However, your document can
only display one bibliography, regardless of how many sections (chapters, etc.) it has.
