Morbius 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2016 I have been using reports more often of late, and have been experiencing a difficulty, I am not sure how to deal with - specifically how TMG handles quotes in the memo field of a NOTES tag, when used with source citations. In the MEMO field of a NOTES tag, I will have, in quotes, something like "John was big" with a cited reference (the quotation marks are also in the MEMO field). When generated into a report (an anhentafel report in this case), what I get out is "John was big.1" with the footnote ("1") inside the closing quotation mark. I haven't noticed a particular pattern, though it seems pretty consistent. It isn't a great problem, as I tend to do a lot of editing after the report is generated (I find it a good way to identify typos, inconsistencies, and research gaps). The question. How can to modify things to that the footnote number is outside of the quotation marks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Cardinal 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2016 You could try this: add the period to the sentence yourself and then use TMG's [:NP:] code in the sentence to prevent TMG from adding the sentence-ending punctuation. If you do that, I think TMG will put the citation references after the ending quote. I have not tested this, however, so I may be wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Hannah 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2016 If you want to specifically place the period, John's idea will probably work. But if you would be satisfied with the output as: "John was big".1 then you could probably simply escape the trailing quote character in the memo like this: "John was big\" I also have not tested this, but believe this will work. This is typically how you get TMG to ignore the trailing character in a sentence when it does its end-of-sentence processing and automatic period and citation reference placement. Hope this gives you further ideas, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
