I need help for checking citations. I have to check long documents if "cf." Is used correctly. I either need a way to highlight the brackets or sentences in which "cf." Is used or for the VBA to do it itself.
If there is a "." Or any word in front of the bracket it needs "cf.". If there are quotation marks in front of the bracket there should be no "cf."
For example this is correct:
example. (cf. Weber 2010)
Example (cf. Weber 2010)
This is incorrect:
Example" (cf. Weber 2010)
Example. (Weber 2010)
I tried something to highlight sentences with quotation marks, but it is not doing what I want, please help
