Changing the citation style - Update citations and bibliography does not update

Hello everyone,

I am currently using MS Word 2016 and Endnote X7.7.1.

I have been citing in a “numbered” style and would like to change my citation style to lets say “APA”. I followed all the required steps, but unfortunately Word does not update the citations when clicking “Update citations and bibliography”. All citations that are already in the text remain in the old citation style “numbered”. When iserting a new citation, the new style is applied.

Is there any way to change the citation style of ALL the citations in my thesis?

Thanks a lot in advance!

There are several APA output style files and you may be using the wrong one. You can download the APA 6th output style file from the Endnote support site or use the attached file. Save the output style file to your desktop then double-click the file to activate Endnote then save the file. Next, modify the Endnote settings in the MS Word ribbon to use the new APA 6th output style file.

Refer to the Endnote training video “Cite While You Write in Microsoft Word” for information on selecting and setting up the output style file.
