If a colleague for example opens the word document in OpenOffice - that will corrupt the Word/Endnote inserted fields. Also, if the fields are retained, the bibliography should be “grey” when you put your cursor in it as should an inserted citation, when your cursor is in it. If it begins a new bibliography, you are in trouble.
You can tell by turning back on autoformating or choosing the update citations and bibliography and that citation will be formated and if it is inserted in the proper place in the existing bibliography - you are good to go. If they open it and somehow erase the endnote fields and turn them into plain text, they you might lose all the automatic features of endnote’s fields. You can turn on Auto formatting from the endnote ribbon (see image) and make sure the output style you selected, is still on the ribbon as well.īut there is another dangerous thing that might happen. (or if they don’t have endnote that might happen automatically, as word doesn’t know what those fields represent.) What you are seeing is the “temporary” or unformatted endnote citation. If they have Endnote, they might turn off auto formating and when you get it back that setting is retained.
