Problem with citations
Hi,
My class was working on citations and Works Cited pages today, and two of them had the same problem. The citation appeared, but the Works Cited page did not. We tried to generate the Works Cited page, but it didn't work. We had an error message that read in part "selection is locked." We are not using a trial version, nor are the documents protected. The only way I could get around it is to delete the citation and do them again. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks -- mkd |

Problem with citations
Citation fields are locked to prevent manual edits from users as manual
changes are lost when the field gets updated. (A rather unfortunate design decision.) Is it possible that when trying to insert a Works Cited page, the cursor was still in a citation field? That could cause the described behaviour. Yves -- http://bibword.codeplex.com "pjandbeau" wrote in message ...
