Hi - the last post on this subject was in 2014. Has there been an update to fix the problem?. I am about to submit my 300 page thesis but … everytime I move/add/delete an item, the pop-box box tells me that Endnote is updating in-text citations - and then, almost immediately, tells me that it is not responding. I wait … and wait … and wait … and eventually it updates. This is really frustrating, and I’d like a ‘fix’ please.
The recommendations haven’t changed. Make a copy of the document.
The on the copy – Accept all tracked changes.
If that doesn’t help. There is probably a corrupt field, but you could first also try turning off the “Link in-text citations to references in the bibliography” in the Configure Bibliography, format bibliography tab. That is a waste of time for a printed document like a thesis.
Make sure there are no corrupted fields. Which means following the steps in this knowledge base article:
However, this requires that you have the original library that the document was formated with. If there are any citations that a colleague inserted from their library (for example) they live in the ether in the so called “traveling library” – you can export your cited references into a new library - just in case, but then you will need to select them one by one, as the record numbers won’t match.
