Editing a Reference in the Library (OpenOffice.org Writer)

You may insert a citation into an OpenOffice.org Writer document, and then later edit the corresponding reference in EndNote. Are those changes reflected in your Writer 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 Format Bibliography from the EndNote menu in OpenOffice.org Writer. EndNote will not be able to make the update if the library is not open during formatting.

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.
