Merging References

EndNote EndNote How To
1

Hi,

I worked on two chapters and saved them differently in Word doc. I wish to merge the two documents as one. The References appear differently. How can I merge the two in one document?

Hi Leane,

Thanks. I tried your suggestion. I clicked to have the bibliography formated as Abs Sociology. But nothing happened.

It showed it was formating it but the 3 chapters I merged into 1 still had their references standing individually.

My version is Endnote X. I typed my work in Word  1997 - 2003 compartable mode.

Kindly advice me on what steps to take.

I will appreciate any step by step directive.

Regards

Hi,

I am very pleased with your advice. I was exited the job has been done after following the steps. Going through the work, It indeed moved and merged the references.

However, when I went back to the work, the whole work changed. All my saved documents with Reference have something I  can not discribe other than like a page attacked by a virus. The references on the combined chapters gone as well.

Please help me correct this.

Thanks

No panic; your field codes are showing, that’s all (at least that’s what it sounds like). Open your document, hold down the Alt key and hit the F9 key. It should revert to normal.

Indeed, I think this is the thing that terrifies our students the most. :wink:

Glad we could help.

Hi Leane,

Thanks for the break through. It worked. I got something wrong but Cathy came to my rescue.

This thread of advice has been most useful - I’ve just combined seven longish chapters each full of endnote refs into one document 60,000 plus words long. So thank you.  A supplementary question is this.

Up to now I’ve been working with the smaller documents in formatted mode - so the brackets are ‘proper’ brackets not squiggly, and inputting has been fine, but sometimes a little slow and with the odd crash.

I think I read somewhere that a draft should be altered in squiggly mode.  Which is best, as I still have some major editing and moving to do?

Many thanks
