Word .doc file with Endnote X refs previously inserted won't sync up with revised Endnote X database

EndNote EndNote How To
1

Hi,

I have a Word .doc file with lots of inserted Endnote X references. The Endnote X database has since been updated but has the same name, can be opened fine, etc. However, when I click on “Go to Endnote” or “edit citation” in Word nothing happens (i.e., Endnote does not open, window does not open for citation edits, etc.). I have to open the Endnote database separately. If I try to insert a selected reference in the Word doc file, similarly nothing happens. It seems that there is a problem in communicating between Word and Endnote.

Thanks.

Leanne,

You are awesome! Thanks, that solved the problem. There was an ODF addin that was installed that was apparently conflicting with Endnote. When I removed it, that did the trick.

Thanks again, and have a great day!!
