EndNote 2025

I get an error when changing reference style

An error appears when I try to change the reference style.

I am working on a grant application. When I try to change the references to a different style, I get an error message.

If I click away the message, the in-text references do change, but no reference list is added.

 

Possible solution:

Copy and paste the entire Word document into a new Word file without field codes:

  1. Press Ctrl + A to select all.

  2. Press Ctrl + 6 to remove field codes.

  3. Press Ctrl + C to copy, then Ctrl + V to paste into a new document.

  4. Make sure Instant Formatting is turned ON, and then re-insert your references.

 

Always check in Word that Instant Formatting for EndNote is turned ON.
