Deleting Citations (OpenOffice.org Writer)

To delete an unformatted citation, highlight the entire citation (including delimiters), and press the Backspace or Delete key.

While it is possible to highlight a formatted citation and press the Delete key on your keyboard, we do not recommend you do that. If you do not completely delete the citation and its associated bookmark, you could corrupt your document.

To safely delete a formatted citation:

  1. In OpenOffice.org Writer, highlight the citation you want to delete.

  2. From the EndNote menu, select Edit Citation(s) to display the EndNote Edit Citation dialog.

Note: All of the cited references in the document are listed in the left column of the dialog. An ellipses shows where a citation appears within text. The line below shows the cited reference(s). The citation you highlighted in the document should be highlighted in the list.

  1. In the left column, make sure the highlighted citation is the one you want to delete. If the citation is part of a multiple citation, make sure you select just the citation you want to delete.

  2. Click Remove.

  3. Click OK.
