CWYW 24: When I insert citations into my document, they go away immediately, but the reference list is generated at the end of the document. What happened to my citations, and how can I get them back?

Answer: Most likely, you are currently using an output style that doesn't include a citation definition, such as the "Show All" output style or the "Chicago 15th A" output style. To fix this, simply format the bibliography using a different output style. To do so:
  1. In the document, do the following:

    Word 2007 with Endnote X1 and later: Go to the EndNote tab.

    Word 2007 with EndNote X and earlier: Go to the Add-Ins tab and choose "EndNote > Format Bibliography."

    Word X/2000/2002 (XP)/2003/2004/2008: Go to the "Tools" Menu and choose "EndNote > Format bibliography."


  2. Here, select the output style you'd like to use in the output style dropdown menu. A generic output style you can use for this purpose is the "Author/Date" style.


  3. Click the OK button (or "Update Citations and Bibliography" in Word 2007 with EndNote X1 and later) to format the document using your selected style.

Additionally, if you are using an author/year type of output style and the reference you are citing does not include an author or a year, there will be nothing to display in the citation, so the citation will simply not show up.
