Just wondering if anyone can help me figure out why some of my references show up in my document with full name (first and last name) while the others show up correctly.
Thanks. I will check my library to see if there is a difference in the way they are listed.
Thanks for your suggestions. I checked and it appears I have the problem you mentioned (same author, different forms), but also same last name, different author.
I can probably fix the first problem, but not sure about the second one.
So if I copy one form of the authors name, and update my document, will the reference list correct itself?
I hope so.

Ok. Still trying to fix the problem.
Where is the section on style citations and the box about using initials for primary authors with same last name box, which would avoid the full first name appearing in the citations?
You’ll need to check the “Authors Name” setting (for Citations) within your output style. Go to the EndNote toolbar, select EDIT, OUTPUT STYLES, EDIT [name of your style]. The output style will pop-up and in the left column (see image), locate “Citations” then click “Author Name”. Use the Name Format (to the right) pull-down menus to make your selection(s). Close the window when completed - you will be prompted to save the changes which will be made as a “Copy” unless you manually change the name. If you save it as a copy you’ll need to change EndNote and Word’s setting to use the “copy” file.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
