I submitted my thesis with the references unlinked and saved to plain text because I had a couple of references that no matter what I did I couldn’t get them to work properly in text. I now have to make amendments to the document and have tried using convert word citations to endnote but nothing happens. Any other suggestions in how to relink the references? There are hundreds of them and I will need to insert more so I really need to have endnote working properly. I upgraded from a previous version to Endnote X8 since handing in the document and am wondering if this is causing the problem although all my references are in X8.
Thanks for replying. The thesis is in 6th Harvard, references alphabetical order, in-text citations author et al and year.
Is the problem because I upgraded Endnote?
I had problems with two references that would not convert to the correct format in-text. I tried all sorts of ways to overcome it; deleting the record and remaking it (a number of times) either by using google scholar to create the record or by inputting the information my self, carefully looking at all the settings - nothing would make the in-text citations work despite a number of hours on these two citations. Since they were very important citations the only way around the problem was to convert to plain and then fix up the problem.
