The database list references can be selected by using Ctrl-click for dis-contiguous selection and Shift-click for contiguous selection. Unlike usual windows based selection, the selection is not lost with just clicking..Use <Clear Highlight…> option on right click menu to clear selection
(1) Insert selection in document Adds the currently selected reference in the document (at cursor). The reference numbering is automatically updated when a reference is inserted. In large documents (>200 inserted fields and >200 references in database), this process may take a few seconds. To enable/disable automatic update use Ctrl- update (2) button.
Clear Highlight clears all highlightining in the list. There are further options in sub-menu
Highlight reference in document - highlights the currently selected references in the document
Delete references (default i.e. clicking on Delete references rather than submenu = From list)
From list e.g. to remove unnecessary references from list select references and use this option
From document any occurrence of highlighted /selected references is removed from document
From list and document removes the references highlighted/selected in the list from both the document and list
From document selection removes the highlighted/selected references from the selected text in the document
Move selected here moves all the selected references after this reference
Same as add new reference. Creates a new blank reference. Will likely be removed from menu after 0.9.8.85
Downloads the reference (in list and document) from Pubmed. . This is only possible if the reference has Pubmed ID
(default i.e. clicking on Check PDF online rather than submenu = selected references)
Checks to see if free PDF is available online. If available, it downloads it. The PDF is saved in the subfolder of the current document that begins with ‘ref’ e.g. \ref or \refFiles or \references. If no such folder exists it creates \ref subfolder. The file name is year+first author name e.g. 1970Barner.pdf. When Icons are turned on (on/off button), HandyCite looks into this folder to see if such file exists. If it does, then it turns the folder icon on. If there are two different references with same name than an alphabet can be added to year e.g. 1970bBarner (in RefManager). This will create a separate file. This alphabet will not be ignored when generating reference list.
