For example, in the entry: Chapman, J. (1988) Tell me who you are, Hanslope: J. and E. Chapman in association with SPA ISBN: 978-1854210265 Available from: http://www.enlightenment-intensives.info/storage/TellMeWhoYouArepart1.pdf [Accessed: 14th August 2012] It should be possible for "ISBN", "Available from:" "[Accessed: " and "]" to be entered as spacers in the structure line of the Insert Index/Table dialogue but only appear if the associated field is not blank. E.g. the above item if it did not have a URL should appear as: Chapman, J. (1988) Tell me who you are, Hanslope: J. and E. Chapman in association with SPA ISBN: 978-1854210265 and not: Chapman, J. (1988) Tell me who you are, Hanslope: J. and E. Chapman in association with SPA ISBN: 978-1854210265 Available from: [Accessed: ]

I think this is more than an enhancement request. I'm going to bump it up to a low-level bug, as this negatively impacts the quality of displayed bibliographic data. Status -> NEW
