unable to copy citations fully from 1 doc to another

[dylansmith]

as above.



i simply ctrl+C and ctrl+V to another document and kept source formatting. the citation appears right initially. however, when i updated the bibliography, it does not have that reference inside.

when i went back to the copied citation and hit 'Update citations and bibliography', it changed into "invalid source specified".

what should i do to transfer my citations over? I don't want to retype my source fields all over again.

Thanks!
