Hi.
I came across this forum and hope that someone can help me out with a problem with Reference Manager 11.01
We recently upgraded our Office 2000 to Office 2003. I’m not sure whether this has anything to do with this problem, but now some of our users report problems with Reference Manager and Microsoft Word integration after the upgrade.
I have tried to uninstall Reference Manager from the affected machines and re-installed the app, but still they have the problem.
The problem:
Updates made in RefMan database (eg, a spelling change in author) is not seen in the reference list.
example: I update the author in the databse (see below) but this update is not seen in the word document when generating a new bibliography IF the actuall insert of the reference was made a few weeks ago . If a new insertion of a reference is put in , in the same document, any updates in the databse is seen instantly in the document. Also assigning other output style is correctly performed by the program and is seen in the word document instantly.
When clicking “edit data base reference” in the word document, it opens the updated reference, thus I cannot even see a referencein the refMAN database looking like ref 1 below.

Presumably the problem arose when we updated to word 2003.
Thanks!
