Endnote X6 and Word 2010 - citations get mixed up

EndNote EndNote How To
1

Hello,

I’m using Endnote X6, and recently I got Windows 8 and Word 2010. I’m using the Cite While You Write feature and every time I open my Word document, for some reason some of the citations are mixed up - the in-text citations are not in the rigt places, and sometimes a citation that should not be in that particular document shows up instead of the correct one. If anyone has any idea about this, please help.

Did you update X6 with the latest patch? Go to the EndNote toolbar and select Help > EndNote Program Updates. After updating the software make a backup copy of your document then try unformating then reformating the citations.

Thank you but the program is up to date and unformatting then reformatting didn’t correct the citations.

Hi Leanne,

I’m using only one library that is not synced with online at all (I have a separate library that is also online but not this one). When I unformat the document, the temporary citations still show the wrong ones. I didn’t change any options, so when I unformat, it shows {author, year #record number}. I’m not sure what you mean by remove field codes. Is there a way to make Endnote disregard record numbers? 

Thank you.

Hi Leanne,

My citations all got shifted by one and I am almost short of an heard attack :cry:

My version is x7 on a Mac, using Word 2011.

Do you have any solution to that issue?

Thanks a lot,

Marcel
