This may be of particular interest for individuals preparing and delivering Association addresses

First, add all of your citations to your list: How to Create a List.
You may also want to create a heading with the name or title of each section:
Lists - Create Headings using Add Text
Now that your list is complete and ready for sharing, there are two primary paths you can take to format the citations for distribution:
1. Formatting in Concord.
2. Exporting from Concord to format in another program.

Formatting in Concord

Go to the List Options Menu.

Select “Print Preview.”

Choose “Print Settings.”
Choose “Format.”

Choose “Citations.”

You’ll see that your list now shows the citations in citation format.

From here, choose “Print” to print your list, or “PDF” to save your list to your device for electronic distribution.

Exporting from Concord to format in another program

Follow steps 1-6 above.
Choose “Text” in the top right corner of Print Preview.

Open the text file – it most likely automatically saved to your device’s “Downloads” folder.
When you open the file, it will look something like this.

Select all of the text. You can do this by using your mouse to drag & highlight the text, or by selecting control + A on your keyboard. (Command + A for Mac).

Now, right click and select “copy,” or select control + C on your keyboard. (Command + C for Mac).
Open the program you’d like to use for formatting, such as a text editor like Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or Pages, and create a new document.
Once you are in the new document, right click and select “paste,” or select control + V on your keyboard. (Command + V for Mac).

From here, you can use functions of the text editing program to format the citations exactly as you’d like; for example, formatted in two columns or some other preferred format.
