Too much lining space for manually added references

[mettekbh]

Hi!

When I add references manualy (books or journal articles) they end up looking strange in my list of references in my word document. It looks like this: 

HILDEBRANDT, M. A., HOFFMANN, C., SHERRILL-MIX, S. A., KEILBAUGH, S. A., HAMADY, M., CHEN, Y. Y., KNIGHT, R., AHIMA, R. S., BUSHMAN, F. & WU, G. D. 2009. High-fat diet determines the composition of the murine gut microbiome independently of obesity. Gastroenterology, 137 , 1716-24.e1-2.

HIRAOKA, A. M., T.

SUZUKI, T.

SHINOHARA, A.

CHIBA, M.

SHIRAO, M.

YOSHIMURA, Y. 2004. Studies on the Properties and Real Existence of Aqueous Solution Systems that are Assumed to Have Antioxidant Activities by the Action of ‘Active Hydrogen’. Journal of Health Science, 50(5), 456-465.

HUMPHRIES, S., KUSHNER, H. & FALKNER, B. 1999. Low dietary magnesium is associated with insulin resistance in a sample of young, nondiabetic Black Americans. Am J Hypertens, 12 , 747-56.

As you can see, the reference in bold has all authors on different lines instead of one the same line as for the other references. 

Do you know the solution? 

Thanks

Thank you so much! 

I hope I have done it correctly. 
I have taken screen shots in the Endnote program.

Here is two new screen shots

I am using ‘Harvard’ style in my word document

I have written each author on one line…

Was the problematic record downloaded from an online database? If so, they may be some hidden characters which are causing the authors to appear on separate lines. (You can check this by turning on Show/Hide feature in Microsoft Word to display the hidden codes.)

Although the author names may appear to be correctly laid-out in the Author field suggest you delete the names and clear the field then reenter the author names and see if that addresses the problem.

Thank you for your time! 

Well, my problem only appears for references I have typed manually. 

Here’s another example of a book for which I have treid to make three references (see attachment)

As you can see, som weird space appears between them (which is not present for other references) - also, it looks like Endnote thinks the author on the second line is part of the author one the first line. 

Have yoy any experience in solving this problem? 

Thanks!

Thank you so much for your time !

I’m new user of Endnote. So I’m not sure if you want me to send you my library?
In that case, I have attached it as a zip-file. 

The ones I have my biggest troubles with is all the Widmaier-references. 
I have added three different ‘Widmaier’ (3 chapters in a book). I don’t know why, but I can see that one of them appear twice in my bibliography list in word. 

If it is possible to understand what went wrong it would be fantastic! But if it is too complicated, I will try to delete the references and try to add them once more and see if that works…

The problem seems to be an extra blank line in either the book title or publisher field (refer to attached image). To make a correction just delete the extra line and re-save the record.
