Problem with references and bibliography.
I have used the references before and saved sources and used the inline
citations. I went to write another report and Word keep saying that I have an "invalid source specified". It even says that with previous sources that have worked before. I need to get this fixed quickly. It says this message with any of the writing styles chosen. Anybody with and idea would be great. |

"invalid source specified" is shown when the formatting process has no output for some reason (something went wrong during the formatting, the formatting routine didn't get any data to start with, ...). Are you sure your citations are still in your Word document? I mean, if you go to "Manage Sources" on the reference tab, are there entries in the 'current list'? That is the list on your right. If not, you might want to try to import the sources again from your master list. Yves -- http://www.codeplex.com/bibliography |

Yes my sources show up in the right hand column. This error happens even if I
insert a citation and provide new iformation. If I select an old source and copy it to the left side the preview window on the bottom show this same message. I think there is a bug in the program. I even tried to find a refresh button like f5 to see if it would give it a little kick. I am at a loss on what to do. I even just bought the office ultimate bundle and hoped when it installed that it would overide my student edition. I still have the same issue. But know I have customer service because of the purchase and I am going to call them. I will post if I receive a fix.

If it is in just one, then somehow, the XSL for that specific style is corrupted. Yves -- http://www.codeplex.com/bibliography |

It happens no matter what style I choose. I think I remember this all
starting when I selected Turibian to see what it looked like, after that none of them work. "p0" wrote: On 4 nov, 04:12, pennmatthews wrote: Yes my sources show up in the right hand column.
