 * Microsoft Word 98 for Macintosh

-



This article was previously published under Q184961



SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Word 98 Macintosh Edition, when you open a document that was created using EndNote's Word 5 Plug-In Module or Word 6 Add-in, citations needed for the bibliography are corrupted.

Additionally, you may not be able to format or unformat Word 5 documents created with the Plug-In Module, or Word 6 documents formatted with the Add- in.



CAUSE
When you open a Word 5 Plug-In Module or a Word 6 Add-in document in Word 98 Macintosh Edition, and save it before converting; the field codes become corrupted, and EndNote will not recognize them.

When you open these documents in Word 98 Macintosh Edition, running the Format Bibliography or Unformat Citations command (which is necessary to generate the bibliography) converts that document into a Word 98 Add-in document.
