Half way through writting paper my endnote library has stopped communicating with word.
Refernces are now added as Author, year, number ie {Cheng, 2010 #83} and it says from a traveling library. In addition the citations are not added to my reference list at the bottom of the document as the have been in the past.
When trying to rectify this I am getting alot of error messages with ID 1701.
How to I return things back to normal where citations are added and ordered automatically in my reference list and formatted in vancouver style.
I too just got error 1701 - and cant resolve this. There seems to be no explanation just word is not communicating…I already know that!!!
Of course all this seemed to happen after I downloaded Office 365 - I run it separately but cant get Endnote to work there either. In the meantime, Word 2011 running on the MAC gives me ERROR 1701…
well, I have 3 grants due Sept 5!! This could be an expensive error…(upgrading to Office 365 I mean!!)
I had a similar issue. I’m running a Mac, and upgraded Word to Word 2016. When I tried to format citations in Word 2011 (which I am keeping because Endnote hasn’t yet created an update that is compatible with 2016), I got the the dread “1701” error. I think I have a solution, though: go to the Endnote X7 menu (top left), click on “Customizer,” and reinstall the components that appear in the dialog box. (You need to make sure that Word is not running when you do this.)
No guarantees, of course – but it did resolve the problem for me.
I’ve found this happens if I have both Word 2011 and Word 2016 open. When I quit 2016, Word 2011 and Endnote work find together and this error goes away. Something about both being open must disrupt communication. HTH.
thanks AjI - that worked - pity Thompson cant put this somewhere…this is the second time this has happened to me - both times at critical grant times!!! I am still having problems with Endnote (I have been a reference Manager user since 1984!!) - its formatting my references differently in the same manuscript - I can’t work this out at all.It seems impossible…but some references have the date after and others don’t - the references are are in the database correctly!!
