12:
I've typed changes into my citations or in the bibliography, but the changes are overwritten by EndNote Web. How can I resolve this? |

Answer:
All changes that are manually typed in will be lost the next time EndNote Web updates the citations and bibliography to conform to the currently selected output style.
If you wish to edit an in-text citation, then use the "Edit Citation" command: Click in the citation itself, then do the following:
Word 2007: Go to the EndNote Web tab and choose "Edit Citation."
Word 2003/2004/2008: Go to the "Tools" Menu and choose "EndNote Web > Edit Citation."
Here you can enter a prefix, a suffix, or exclude the author or year. If you are entering a prefix or suffix, you'll want to include any spaces or punctuation, as EndNote Web will display whatever is entered in these boxes. If you are trying to add page numbers, you'll want to use the Suffix field in most cases. Click here for more information.
For footnoted citations (citations that are inserted into the footnote section in Word), the "Edit Citation" command can be used only to add page numbers. The prefix, suffix, exclude author, and exclude year options do not work for footnoted citations.
To change how references are formatted in the bibliography, you must format the document using a different output style.
If the kind of edits you need to make are not possible by using the "Edit Citations" command or formatting with another output style, then you may want to remove the field codes. In doing so, the citations and the bibliography will become plain text that you can edit without problems. This step should be taken when you are done working with EndNote Web in the document, as removing the field codes removes the link between EndNote Web and Word, and adding or removing any citations after removing the field codes will not update your bibliography. Make a backup of the document to be safe, then go to Click in the citation itself, then do the following:
Word 2007: Go to the EndNote Web tab and choose "Convert Citations and Bibliography > Convert to Plain Text."
Word 2003/2004/2008: Go to the "Tools" Menu and choose "EndNote Web > Remove Field Codes."
Once this is done, your citations and bibliography will be regular text in Word, and you will be able to make any manual edits.
