The chaos of output order.

Hello, at first, sorry for my bad English skills. my question is:
I select output style “numbered”, If the last citations is more the two(for example, 6,7,8, shows as [6-8]). I insert one new citation, it should be [9], but now it show as [6], and prior [6-8] was disabled(only a gray [6-8] left, endnote don’t think it is citations anymore and just remove these items:no corresponding specific reference information at the end of paper).
If it can’t reappear, maybe close and reopen the editor before insert the [9] is helpful.
I use EndNote X2 with updates, Microsoft Office 2003 with Sp3 with updates, Windows XP sp3 with updates.

Leanne, thanks for the help.

I select all, and click the “Unformat Citation(s)”.

[1-3]'s grey is still here. after hit alt F9. [1-3] convert to “{ ADDIN EN.CITE { ADDIN EN.CITE.DATA }}” (btw, I can’t copy this line from word directly, no clue here).

Thanks, I just send it to you.

I think it’s the same  question of this one:

@Leanne:

as i seem to have the same Problem as lotrpy i’m very interested in the solution. 

Can you write it in the board, please?

when choosing “unformat citations” no grey fields remain, all convert to {author, year, #some number} but

when choosing “Alt+F9” some convert to a long field of detailedinformation about the citation while some convert just to “{ ADDIN EN.CITE { ADDIN EN.CITE.DATA }}” like lotrpy described. 

I recognized the problem when adding a citation to a text field below an image. Instead the citation appeared an the textfield of a different image. It’s reproducable, but the citations doesn’t always appear in the same WRONG textfield but seemingly always in one the field of which says “{ ADDIN EN.CITE { ADDIN EN.CITE.DATA }}” instead of a detailed one… :cry:

trying around in a new test-document all citations i insert convert only to “{ ADDIN EN.CITE { ADDIN EN.CITE.DATA }}” when pressing “Alt+F9”… No detailed ones…

Would reinstalling EndNote help?

Hi Leanne,

thank you for the quick reply! 

That sounds like i will have to replace them… 

But i’m wondering whether my EndNote is working correctly: 

As i described i made a test document and the the (lew) citations i inserted convert to the correct author and year after hitting “unformat citations” but seem to be “truncated” when pressing Alt+F9…

I just want to make sure i won’t have to fix it twice…

The {addincite does NOT always men the citation is corrupt! Sometime ISI “fixed” the problem that was causing cite while you write to hang by handling certain cites with much info differently IOW it dont show all the info just the {addincite part.

If it were me I would copy and paste a paragraph or two at a time in to a new document, unformat and reformat to see if you can find out if the cites are realy corrupt.
