i had instant formatting turned off in a word document. I am now wanting to turn instant formatting on, but it is not working. when i turn it on, nothing happens, I then press ‘update citations and bibliography’ and the box pops up that says it is collecting citations, but then none of the in text citations or reference list becomes formatted (are not highlighting). the endnote tab then indicates instant formatting is on. Please help!
Thanks Leanne.
I havent opened this document for a while. this document is a combined word document that had track changes. I am not sure at what stage i turned formatting ‘off’ but it was definitely ‘on’ at some point and was functioning fine. when i open to document formatting is off, but the references are not in curly brackets. when i turn formatting on, it tries to ‘collect in text citations’ but nothing changes.
i have attached a snip of the document.
i am starting to think i have done something along the way that is not reversible …but i am hoping you can help, so i do not have to insert all my citations again!!.
thanks, caterina
