That’s right. Unformatting automatically turn off “Instant formatting” option. Also, unformatting removes traveling library, and cause problems if the document is shared by multiple users. By the way, I’m not a big fan of instant formatting, because I write very often temporary citation with {ref} or {rf}, and just keep writing. If instant formatting is on, everytime I type {ref}, Endnote asks me which citation, and that’s quite annoying, and I feel it is a distraction for writing. Most of the time, I know which citation I have in my mind, so I don’t need to enter the exact one from Endnote each time. I just need the location of references. Instead of working back and forth between Word and Endnote, I want to focus on the writing the context. If I’m not sure about the reference is available in my library, I type {look for ref} or {search ref} just like leaving a note. Then, once I feel comfortable about the contents and context, I switched to Endnote and focus on entering precise references. It’s just the way I’ve worked so far, and personal preference, you know…
Best,
