Hi I never had problems with my EndNote X7 up until recently (Saturday), when Word started crashing when I insert citation. I get this report:Microsoft Error Reporting log version: 2.0Error Signature:Exception: EXCBADACCESSDate/Time: 2016-10-31 19:07:18 +0000Application Name: Microsoft WordApplication Bundle ID: com.microsoft.WordApplication Signature: MSWDApplication Version: 14.6.9.160926Crashed Module Name: UIFoundationCrashed Module Version: 1Crashed Module Offset: 0x0009ad6eBlame Module Name: EndNote CWYW Word 2011Blame Module Version: 2015.17.4.0.10646Blame Module Offset: 0x000d8a09Application LCID: 1033Extra app info: Reg=en Loc=0x0409Crashed thread: 0I tried with a blank document, and no success. Funnily enough, it works when I try to 'insert selected citation', 'edit citation', 'update bibliography', which makes me wonder about having a very specific bug.I updated the OS just before this, so it may have something to do with it.Any help appreciated, thanks!

I think a lot of folks aren’t aware that if you’re using Microsoft Word to write a paper (or a book!) with references, the program can auto magically generate those for you. No more figuring out where those periods and italics go! As someone who occasionally proofreads academic papers, this is kind of a godsend. And you can select which format you’d like your items to be in, too—APA, MLA, or Chicago, for example—and then automatically create a full bibliography when you’re ready.
The Vancouver style is a widely used numbered system of referencing or bibliographic citation. The citation style was originally based on the rules proposed by the International Committee of Medical.
So cool.Here’s how you get started: First, you’ll open Word (um, yeah), and then place your cursor where you’d like your in-text reference to be. Choose the “References” tab at the top and click the “Citations & Bibliography” button.We’re going to click “Insert Citation” here (and this is also where you can change the formatting of your references from APA, for example, to MLA), but just so you know, you may see that button all by itself on Word’s Ribbon depending on the size of your window.Yes, “Ribbon” is Microsoft’s weird and fancy name for the toolbar. Go figure.In any case, though, once you pick “Insert Citation,” you can fill out a form with all of the details on the reference you’re adding.The “Type of Source” drop-down at the top is pretty important; that’ll determine what fields you get to type into, depending on whether you’re referencing a journal article or a book, say. It’s a very useful tool, and has been for some time.
However, it’s still flawed (especially the Mac version). Do NOT rely on it completely. You still need to proofread the references page. Flaws with Word for Mac: 1.

References (APA, 6th ed.) should be listed as References, but Mac only allows for Works Cited and Bibliography. You will have to manually change it. When creating a journal article reference, the spots for DOI or URL are not available, though they are in the Windows version. You will need to manually add them in the References section at the Read more ».
