 I am working to finish my Thesis now, which is in separate documents. I’ve just tried to insert all of them in one master document. Well, I don’t recommend it. In my case, this is a 100% crash every time.

 


 

To clarify your process and the crash occurrence, were the citations already formatted in each document before combining them into the master doc?  Or did you unformat the citations for each separate document first; merged the documents into one; then formatted the citations in the master doc?

 

If you did the former and experienced a crash, have you tried the latter?

 

Hi CrazyGrecko

 

Thanks for your answer.

 

I asked Technical Team for an advice and they told me to unformat citations and then copy block of texts into a new document. I have to admit the problem eventually disappeared. Now, I practically work on unformatted citations and turn them on only if I need to check citations in their final form or just before exporting / printing. I have also unticked two options regarding turning on auomatic format citations for all new documents. It is just safer and easier…

 

Sorry that you have to “hobble” X5 by limiting use of CWYW but at least you’ve found a workaround.  I see you posted a response in sk0412 but didn’t note if you applied the “clean-up” hidden field codes instructions sk0412 noted in the posting…or did tech support provide the info for checking whether your document has hidden field codes that should be removed?
