Hi I have attempted to merge 2 word documents each with references from the same endnotes library. I did the following:
Open each chapter document and in the EndNote tab of each, click on ‘Convert Citations and Bibliography’ > ‘Convert to Unformatted Citations’.
Copy and paste your documents together into one final document.
Ensuring that your corresponding EndNote library or libraries are open, in this final document click on ‘Update Citations and Bibliography’.
on doing so it listed lost citations (mainly websites) that it couldnt find (sorry cant recall exact phrase) i had the option to ignore or cancel the merge. The citations were referred to by their authors name and a #number). I ignored all to proceed and he merge happened.
the references i ignored are now still visible in the text but with { }. they arent in the combined reference list and now not visible in the endnotes library
Im guessing i had entered them into the library insufficiently in the first place??
How can i make them visible again? and any tips on how to successfully merge the 2 docs to have one complete reference list?
Hi Leanne thanks for your help. sorry it has taken so long to reply. I do have an original document and the references are still visible here. I can find the citation within endnotes too when searching for each with the title.
It seems that my issue is that on merging the 2 documents i unformatted and merged, following reformatting. as instructed.
but I cant change them from temporary citations. the temporary ones are highlighted and im asked if i want to ignore or insert them. neither changes the “temporary” status and they still dont reappear in the bibliography.
im not sure if this even makes sense never mind how can i get the citations to all become non temporary?
Glen
Thanks Leanne
I’ll try adding commas as suggested
But if no joy then basically copy the text without the bibliography from one documents and paste it above the bibliography in the other.
Then which button/ option do I press in endnotes within word for references to be added to the bibliography?
Thanks
Glen
