I am a new user of EndNote. In several cases, when I find a citation and add it to my Word document, the citation includes the first authors initials - (K.R. Williams & Guerra, 1998). I have checked my entry in the library, and it seems to be in order. This is happening with several references. Any ideas what i might be doing to cause this problem?
Also, I contacted Tech Support because there are places in the document where I do not need the open parenthesis at the beginning of the citation. For example, I might have a statement and then say (See citation for details). I could not use EndNote and just type the reference as I want it, but then it doesn't appear in the Reference List. I am told there is not a way to remove the open parenthesis without doing it for all citations :-(
Solved! Go to Solution.

What style are you using? Is this a case where there are two Williams in 1998 and the style is dictating that they need to be "unabiguated" (is that a word?) by inclusion of the authors initials?
Part two, question: I am not exactly sure why you are trying to lose the open parenthesis, but could you achieve what you want by inserting the reference and hide year and author (no reference) or make the reference hidden text?
But, if "citation" should be the citation? In which case the unformated reference should look like {see\Lastname #RecNo, YEAR for details}.
