If you “convert citations and bibliography to unformated citations” and see a space infront of the curly bracket, you can do a search and replace the text " {" (that is the spacecharacter-curly bracket) with only the curly bracket and then update, and it should make the space go away. –
This might be affected by Word settings and how you insert your citation. In EndnoteX9, if I use the quotes, no spaces are inserted automatically, but if I use "^c, move to the word document and ^p, then the spaces are inserted. To stop that from happening, you can change Word’s behavior when you paste by turning off " Adjust sentence and word spacing automatically" (the menu window is shown in the attachment)
· Word Open.
· Click on File < Options < Advanced.
· Under Cut, copy and paste group click on Settings.
· Under Individual options uncheck the option for Adjust sentence and word spacing automatically and click Ok.
If there isn’t a space in front of the curly bracket then the output style must have a space before the Bibliography number in the citation template itself, which would need to be edited, but it appears that isn’t the case, from your message.
