Storing and Selecting a Reference
Enter up to 16 characters per line (1 line = 1 Reference). Since
most references are less than 16 characters,
there’s usually
room to enter an optional short note for each reference. Use a
colon
(“:”) to separate the reference from your note. This can
be used as a handy reminder when looking at a list of
references and trying to recall what they are.
