Rae Jean,
My proposal would have the citations in the _Citation box_ be able to
have their reference embedded. As Jim Bryam has stated, the current
program has more capabilities to deal with the citations in the standard
citation box than with embedded citations. With the recommendation
added to my proposal that their be some mark on the citation in the
standard citation box that this citation is referenced in an embedded
location there would be no need for a NEW box. Further, such an
identifier on a "standard" would be a good candidate for including in
the existing List of Citations filtering for citations that have the
embedded reference marked. And since my proposal is simply to move the
reference for "standard" citation to an embedded location, you retain
all the features of the "standard" citations, such as prompt for the CD
and CM, split CDs, etc. I think this proposal would provide the
features and capabilities you request without an added box.
