Problems with references and master documents
I have a Master Document with chapter subdocuments. The subdocuments contain references using the Citations and Bibliography tool that Word comes with.
When working on the subdocuments I added many citations and they seem to be working well. I can insert an automated Bibliography section and then use Update Citations and Bibliography when I need the list to reflect new citations on the same subdocument.
The problem comes now that I am trying to merge the subdocuments with the master. I use the normal method to Unlink the files and have their contents on the Master Document, and the references are copied with the rest of the text, but when I press Update Citations and Bibliography, all the citations turn into Invalid source specified and they disappear from the Bibliography section.
I have tried to go to Manage Sources from within the subdocument and copy all the sources there to the Master List. They now appear in the Master List even when I am in the Master Document, but they still don't work properly.
Do you have any idea of what I should do?

Ok, just figured it out.
- For each
subdocument, I went toManage Sourcesand copied all
the references on the Current List of that document (on the right
column) to theMaster List. - Closed and saved all documents.
- Used
unlinkto merge the documents as normal. - On the
Master Document, I went toManage Sourcesand copied all the references
on theMaster Listto theCurrent List. This leaves everything
on theMaster List, from any document with references created in
Word into theCurrent Listof the file. This fixes the problem
that showedInvalid source specifiedwhen citations were inserted
in line, but now theBibliographysection will have many unused
references on it. - I selected all the references in the
Current Listand pressed delete on theSource Manager. This only deletes the sources that are not used in the document and both the in line citations and theBibliographysection work as intended.
Hope it helps someone in the future!
