RCM freezing/not adding new citations?
This sometimes happens if you have you moved sections of text around in your document i.e. cut a section which included citations inserted using RefWorks Citation Manager and pasted it elsewhere. If this is the case the document can get corrupted and you may need to remove the RefWorks coding in your document and reinsert your references by following the steps below.
Update your current verison of EndNote, write and cite in the right styles, and import references directly into EndNote. If you use RefWorks to manage citations, and you have upgraded to Microsoft Office 2016 on your Mac, you may have found that a 'Write-N-Cite' add-in compatible with Word 2016 had not been available. RefWorks has since released a compatible version of their Word add-in, but it can only be installed via the Microsoft Add-In Store. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. Write-N-Cite is a small free download program provided by RefWorks, which enables you to access the abbreviated version of your RefWorks account while you are working in MS Word. To download Write-N-Cite, log into your RefWorks account. On the top bar in RefWorks, click 'Tools', and then select 'Write-N-Cite' from the drop down menu.
1. Select all text via the 'select all' text command.
2. Right click and select 'remove content control'. That will in effect remove all the content control boxes in the document and convert all citations to be just plain text. This needs to be done to cleanse the document of corrupt RCM code.
3. Remove the bibliography to avoid confusion.
4. Once this has been done go back and re-cite them all again. The in text citations will still be in the text so they should act as a guideline for you and hopefully make the process less time consuming.
RefWorks is investigating this problem and trying to improve the RCM add-in so that it does not happen in future.
