During the upgrade the temporary citation delimiters had
been changed from “{“ to “(“.
A simple, slight change, you would think. What could
possibly go wrong?
Well, Endnote, of course, started to throw a bit of a
wobbly, putting up the Find Citation box for every parenthetical comment the
author had made.
Fortunately, I discovered that this can be fixed in a
relatively painless manner. Although I still recommend taking a backup before
trying this at home.
You need to start with all the references in a formatted
state. This might take some clicking on the Ignore button on the Find dialog
when it appears.
Then, click on the little box with an arrow on it in the
bottom right of the Bibliography group on the Endnote tab. The Format Bibliography dialog will be shown.
Change the temporary citation delimiters to your required
symbol and click OK.
Now, in the document, unformat the citations. They should appear
with your new temporary citation delimiter around them.
Then click on Update Bibliography. The extra visits to the
Find Reference dialog should be avoided, this time.
