Other than upgrading to a newer version of Endnote (its not an option), can anyone tell me how to merge duplicate references in my endnote library so that they are not deleted from my word document. I have a number of duplicates which are causing references to appear twice in my reference list. My thesis is over 400 pages long, and I can’t find all the duplicate citations in the document (unless someone can tell me an easy way to do that), and deleting one of the references in the endnote library will remove the citation in my thesis. Does that make sense?
Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.
Yours,
Andy
Hi Leanne,
Thanks very much. I’ll give it a try. However, I now have another problem. I changed the details(author name) of a duplication in the hope that it would update in the word file and make the citation easier to identify. The details changed in the bibliography, but not in any of the citations (which makes me wonder if that particular reference is actually cited). As nothing happened, I deleted the reference from my endnote library. Unfortunately the bogus reference which I deleted still appears in the bibliography. To make matter worse, I changed to author name to a rude word which I knew was not in my thesis to make it easily identifiable, but now it wont go away … This could be very embarrassing… Hahaha!
Any other ideas??
