ShowSwitches

\b

Applies bold formatting to the page number for the entry. The field { TA "Loren v. Mendel" \b } displays the entry as "Loren v. Mendel.........23" in the table of authorities. If the Table of Authorities style (style: A combination of formatting characteristics, such as font, font size, and indentation, that you name and store as a set. When you apply a style, all of the formatting instructions in that style are applied at one time.) for the entry already has bold formatting, the \b switch removes it.

\c "Category"

Specifies the entry category, which is a number that corresponds to the order of categories in the Category box in the Mark Citation dialog box. The number determines how citations are grouped in tables of authorities. The field { TA \l "Hotels v. Leisure Time" \c 2 } is included only in the table of authorities inserted by the field { TOA \c 2 }, where "2" corresponds to "Statutes". If you omit the \c switch, category 1 ("Cases") is the default.

\i

Makes the entry's page number italic. The field { TA "Loren v. Mendel" \i } displays the entry as "Loren v. Mendel.........23 " in the table of authorities. The switch removes the italic formatting if the Table of Authorities style for the entry is italic.

\l "Long"

Defines the long citation for the entry in the table of authorities. This citation is from the Long citation box in the Mark Citation dialog box (Insert menu, Reference submenu, Index and Tables command).

\r Bookmark

Inserts as the entry's page number the range of pages marked by the specified bookmark (bookmark: A location or selection of text in a file that you name for reference purposes. Bookmarks identify a location within your file that you can later refer or link to.). The field { TA \l "Hotels Corporation v. Herder Assoc. 483 F.2d 247 (3d Cir. 1990)" \r hotelsvherder } displays the entry's page number in the format "20–25" in the table of authorities.

\s "Short"

Defines the abbreviated form of the entry; this citation is from the Short citation box in the Mark Citation dialog box (Insert menu, Reference submenu, Index and Tables command).
