For some reason my Word document is looking really messed up and I don’t know why
Occasionally your Word document may display ADDIN EN.CITE code rather than citations.
When you insert a citation into a Word document, the citation is embedded with field codes, such as: { ADDIN EN.CITE <EndNote><Cite><Year>} Field codes hold reference information for your formatted citations and are typically hidden.
To hide field codes in Word:
- Go to File > Options > Advanced
- Scroll to the "Show document content" section and uncheck the box titled "Show field codes instead of their values."
5. Click OK.
