You may insert a citation in a Word document, and then later edit the corresponding reference in EndNote. Are those changes reflected in your Word document?
Your citations and bibliography will reflect the edits the next time you reformat the paper with the EndNote library open. Open your document, open your EndNote library, and select Configure Bibliography from the EndNote submenu on the Tools menu.and from the EndNote tab, select Update Citations and Bibliography.
EndNote will not be able to make the update if the library is not open during formatting. Instead, it will take the original reference information from Word’s Traveling Library.
Note: The author’s last name and the publication year are both used to identify a reference, so changes to these items in an EndNote reference are not reflected in the in-text citation. Cite While You Write will no longer identify a match between the citation and the reference, and will use reference information from Word’s field codes (the traveling library).
If you make changes to a figure in an EndNote reference, you must manually replace the figure in your Word document.
