Q. Why are EndNote references appearing in curly brackets in Word?
When I use the EndNote toolbar in Microsoft Word to add a citation, it appears in text within curly brackets, e.g. {Hughes, 217 #595} and nothing appears in my bibliography.
To resolve this ensure that Instant formatting is set to "on" in the EndNote toolbar in Word:
When you change this from "Off" to "On" the citations will automatically reformat to the style you have selected and appear in the bibliography/reference list.
If this doesn't resolve the problem please email library@st-andrews.ac.uk in your email include:
- Details of the problem,
- whether you are using a Mac or Windows PC,
- the version of EndNote you have installed,
- the version of Word you are using,
- if using a Mac, which version of the Mac OS you have installed.
