EndNote is not numbering citations properly.

I have been using EndNote X5 with Windows 7 on a 64 bit machine.  I just upgraded to EndNote X6 to see if X6 would fix my problem.  It didn’t.  I am using a Numbered Copy output style.  I want the references in order of appearance.  I have several references to the same book one after another.  I created a separate reference record for each reference.  They are the same except for the page numbers.  EndNote treats the entrees as identical even though they came from different records with different page numbers. So the same reference number will appear several times referring only to the first set of page numbers.  I have tried adding page numbers to the reference number, but so far that has not worked either.  I have spent a lot of time on this and I need a solution.

Thank you.  Your instruction worked.

I tried copy-paste a reference (Journal Article) in my EndNote library. Then I changed Pages (this is now the only field that is different between the two references). Inserting the two references in a Word document created two instances in the reference list.

Changing the Pages field back to identical values, and updating my document created just one instance of the references in my reference list.

EndNote seems to work as intended in my case when Merge references is set to on.

I used pages.  Cited pages never appears in the bibliography template.

I used Word 2010 and Update Citations and Bibliography to correct the references.  I don’t think I used unformating and reformating the bibliography the way you mean it.  I wrote software for 26 years.  This problem looks like a software bug to me, but I can’t figure out why more people aren’t encountering it.

Hi

For having the citations as they are as ordered in word document, you should follow the instructions:

Endnote>Edit>Outpu styles>open style manager

Now you shod select your desierd style and double clic on it and go ahead with chosing the ’ Sort Order’ from the Bibliography and tick the ’ Order of appearance’ and then close the window and click ’ Yes’.
