[Word 2013, EndNote X7] Cannot update citations and bibliography

Hello,

I wrote a paper inserting unformatted citations from EndNote. Otherwise Word would become very unstable. The document is like 20 pages long with 80-ish references. Once I click the button “Update citations…” on the CWYW toolbar in Word, a warning message appear saying “Make a selection first”. I have no idea what this means. What I do know is that the citations do not get formatted.

Any ideas how to solve this issue?

Best,

Alberto

Hi,

I am using Word 2013 for Windows.

I did not clean the field codes, since I have a lot of cross-references in my document that I would otherwise loose.

I stopped the track changes and accepted all the changes and it seems it is working better now. However Word freezes frequently. I might try to reinstall both EndNote and Word.  

Thank you
