Can someone point me to an explanation of Table of Authorities and
marking citations. The cites that I mark have page numbers in the cites
and I want to have a table that does not include the cites.

I am fairly proficient in Word but have used a third part program to
build my table of authorities in the past.

If you don't want to include the page numbers, then do not select them when
you are marking your text. For instance, if you have a cite such as *The
Doomsday Bomb, Newsweek, vol 1, 1997 pgs 27-41*, then select ONLY the text
that you want to have shown up in the table. For additional references to
the same cite, you need to know how you referred to the cite. For instance,
in the above example, I would not use Newsweek, since I may have more than
one article reference. However, I might us Doomsday, if I referred to the
article later as *Doomsday*, or perhaps I used the Author's name. The short
case caption is the short name you gave it. The long case caption is the
information that you want in the table.

If you are in the field of law, then your long case caption might be
Abercrombie vs. City of Catoosa, 896 F.2d 1228, 1231 (10th Cir. 1990) and
the short caption could be "Abercrombie" or "City of Catoosa" depending on
which argument you are making. The point of the short caption is to mark the
additional pages where you talked about the article, so that the Table says:

Abercrombie vs. City of Catoosa, 896 F.2d 1228, 1231 (10th Cir.
1990)....................21, 25, 27

(indicating that references were made on all three pages.) If you want the
citation to be displayed on two lines in the table, for instance to have the
article name on the first line, and the cite to be on the second line, then
inside of your TA code, you will need to insert a manual line break which
can be done by pressing CTRL+ENTER inside the quote marks.

Be sure to generate your table without showing hidden characters cause that
will cause your page numbers to generate incorrectly.

Hope that helps, if you get stuck, let us know and someone will help
straighten you out.
