Thanks Sneaks - I got it sort it - it works if I highlight the citations I want to change and then go to then Endnote tab in Word and edit them from there but for some reason it doesn't let me right click and edit from there - the joys of Word!!
Thanks for your help (sprout)

I'd do all the usual nice stuff ....

And then I'd open my own animal shelter and spend my days surrounded by dogs and goats and donkeys and pigs and horses and whatever else showed up :-x

I really am in the wrong business :$

Thanks Sneaks - it tried that but for some reason nothing happens when I click the 'edit citations' button

My in text citations appear as [1] etc.

One of my citations is [3-7]. I want to remove citations 4,5 & 6 but can't for the life of me figure out how to do it.

Deleting the references from my reference list at the end of the document doesn't work as each time I press the "update citations and bibliography" button, they reappear.

Does anybody have any idea how to do this??


Hopefully it's simple and I'm just being dumb!

Goal 3 done - took way longer than expected :-(

Now under quite a bit of time pressure to get the rest done

Sneaks at this rate I'll be lucky if I get it sent off by 5

Morning all - just getting going now - I've given myself 4 hours to finish the overall task.
So - goal1 - method section 1
Goal 2- method section 2
Goal 3 - 3+ types of analysis
Goal 4 - editing etc.

First things first though - breakfast!!!

Well it's soup so I guess I'll have to call it brunch

3 big sections to go - then I'm calling it a night and plan to watch a movie with b/f and some wine :-)

I'll get up early and proof read/ make sure everything makes sense and hopefully send it off by lunchtime.

If you tell someone you'll send them something on a certain day lunchtime is acceptable right??? :p

Hmmm, you'd have to question the wisdom there alright?!
Progress has slowed somewhat and have wasted the last hour playing with the dog- she really is an expert in distracting me (not that it takes much) :$

B'f has scheduled dinner for 6ish (caprese salad , mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm) - so hope to get 2 tomatoes done by then - that probably still leaves about 10 tomatoes of work

Congrats to you both (up)

I'm just starting 2nd year and have found this forum to be welcoming and a brilliant source of wisdom!

Welcome :-)

Goal 1 - DONE
Goal 2 -DONE
Goal 3 - write paragraph about method for choosing procedure

That sucks Sneaks :-(
I'm only really getting going now already frustrated - bf doesn't understand the meaning of quiet - I have to work in the kitchen as it's the only table in the house - and currently washing machine, oven and kettle going and radio. I'd work in the office but the building is locked today and I know for a fact nobody else will be in my office so that creeps me out.

Anyway goal 1: finish section 1 (hopefully in half a tomato)

I reckon I need to do a solid 10 hours today :-(

Oh poor Sneaks - sounds like your day is no better :-(


Chuff, the tomato thing is a timer that allows you to see the work that you have clocked up and it tells you to take regular scheduled breaks - so the idea is you work solidly for 25 minutes then take a 5 minute break and repeat as necessary. I find it quite useful when I'm writing

One tomato down - 1 or 2 to go

Goal 3 - DONE (yesterday)

Anybody knocking about today???

It's been a rubbish day for me so far and not much of it left :-(

Was kept up til 5am this morning by bf so consequently slept really late - lunch time :-s

Then had to walk the poor dog in the rain. Came home and was just about to start working when I noticed my tummy rumbling and realised that I actually eaten yet  :$

So have just put a pot of soup on then boil and was about to do a tomato while it cooks but guess what bf gets call from his father who wants to come over tonight (I don't know there's football or some equally inane sport on) at 6pm!!! So the house needs to be cleaned, beer/wine bought in and something more substantial than soup to be cooked :-s

And he really likes to talk to me (well poke fun at my weight, intelligence really) so there's no chance of getting any work done while he' here and God knows when he'll go home. Grrrrrr!! I do like the man though and am always trying to encourage bf to spend more time with him so it's my fault really.

Oops sorry for hijacking the thread - just realised how long I've been going on :$

So goal 1 today - try to get at least 2 tomatoes of writing done

Goal 2 -DONE

Goal 3 - is the biggie but I really want to get it done by 8 so I can have a nice night in at home.

I'm here til 8 or so and for most of the weekend too.

Goal 1 - cut out irrelevant info - DONE
Goal 2 - bullet points for what needs to be changed in document - IN PROGRESS
Goal 3 - find sources of info to follow up on the bullet points

Over the weekend I need to finish a document - so it'll be a busy one.

Good going Star-shaped - you seem to be making great progress to me (up)
