Check the Endnote APA 6th output style file’s “Sections” setting to confirm it’s been set to “create a bibliography at the end of the document” – and not to generate a bibliography after each section. (See attached image.) [Go to the Endnote toolbar and select Edit >Output Styles >Edit APA 6th. In the APA 6th pop-up dialog box click “Sections”.]

HI

My work flow is as follows

all references are stored in end note 

i am wiriting in word and using the plug in

i go to insert citations, pick the reference and it is automatically inserted

however when i open the word file again and follow the same method it creates a new reference section 

see image below.

I do not know how to find the section suggested, is it in word or on end note online?

how do i find this section to turn off the creation of new references each time?

thank you for the help so far.

You may be getting duplicate reference sections: 1) if you’ve been using section breaks in your document ; and 2) the Endnote APA 6 output style file’s “Sections” setting is set to generate a reference list for each section.

To check the output style file:

  1. In Endnote, go to the Endnote toolbar and select select Edit >Output Styles >Edit APA 6th. In the APA 6th pop-up dialog box click “Sections”.
  2. Confirm/change the setting to: Create a bibliography at the end of the document.
  3. Close the output style file’s dialog box. Any modifications made to the output style file will be saved as a new file with the word “Copy” added to the file name. So adjust the settings in MS Word to use the new Endnote output style file.

Sorry, thought you’re using the desktop version of Endnote. If you’re using Endnote Basic you will not be able to access and modify the APA 6th output style file. Are you accessing Endnote Basic from a university network?

.odt is an Open Document Text file – are you using either Open office or Google Docs? Are you able to attach this file so we may see it?

HI

thank you for the help 

i will save it as a .doc file

It would have saved a lot of time if a notice or popup was created by endnote to say it does not work with the latest version of word.

thank you again for all the help.
