Reverting to original text
Author: Popham, Karyn    Posted: Fri, 10 Sep 2004 18:12:40 -0500
I feel like I'm going crazy here. But I'm highly stressed, so perhaps I'm just overlooking something obvious? I have a formatted with bibliography manuscript. The in-text citations are superscript numbers, and they grey out with left-click (i.e., the field codes are there). There are last minute changes to make in the references. Tools/RefMan10, Revert to Original text does NOTHING. Okay, Ctrl+A (highlight all the text)--still nothing. Okay, go to legacy toolbar: Reference Manager 10, Unformat Citations--nothing. Opened up Reference Manager and the database. Tried it all again--nothing. Except this time, the legacy toolbar, I tried revert to original text, and it DID do something. It converted the superscript numbers to RefIDs. Can someone explain this to me? Why doesn't "Revert to Original Text" in the regular toolbar do something?....

I sympathize (big help, I know) I don't see anything you did wrong, but a few questions: Did you generate the bibliography on the machine you are now using? If not, maybe the link to the database is incorrect. You can't move such manuscripts from machine to machine (except perhaps if the path to the database is EXACTLY the same. It would be best to revert to original text on the machine that generated the biblio. Sorry, can't think of anything else, except maybe someone edited something within the generated text and corrupted the links. Han At 07:12 PM 9/10/2004, you wrote: >I feel like I'm going crazy here.

I had a similar problem & was advised to copy the entire document & paste in a new file. Revert to original text seems to work in the new document. Hope this helps, Alba Alba I.
