Inserting blind references (using an author date style)

I was recently asked about inserting ‘blind’ references so thought this might be useful …

In order to have references appear in your bibliography which do not appear as in-text citations you should insert these references separately, perhaps at the end of your document. Put the cursor at the very beginning of the author date entries and right click, you will get a menu which includes ‘edit citation’ at the bottom, select this and exclude the author and date. The in-text citation remains but you can no longer see it, so the reference does appear in the automated bibliography along with anything that does have a visible in-text citation.
