Hi,

I am using Endnote X5, Word 2003. After having not worked on my document for some weeks, I had to add some references in the text today. However, instead of adding these references to the bibliography, endnote started to create a new bibliography underneath the original one. So now I have 2 bibliographies, instead of one that merges the “old” and the “new” references. Can anyone explain me why/ how that happens and most importantly how to turn the 2 in one single bibliography? (‘format bibliography’ does not change anything)

Thanks a lot in advance,

Bela

Thank you for the quick response! I will try to un- and reformat everything. My supervisior opened the paper meanwhile, she is working with a mac as far as I know…
