You need to change the preferences

The Edit Citation function has not been used to remove a citation.

• Click on the Office icon at the top of the screen;
• click on Word Options at the bottom of the window;
• click on Advanced Options in the left margin;
• in the Show Document content section, select the box Show field codes instead of their values;
• click on OK;
• the citations will be converted to codes;
• search for the author's last name;
• once you have found what is left of the code, click anywhere in that code;
• use Edit citation to remove the remaining code, otherwise select the whole block to delete it.

Repeat the merging procedure using the following steps.

• For each of the documents :
  • Make sure that all your references have been inserted into your Word document from within EndNote.
  • Select Convert to Unformatted Citations, from the EndNote toolbar in Word. The references will then appear in this format : {Slone, 2007 #2136} and the bibliography will disappear.
  • Merge all of your documents.
  • Click on Update Citations and Bibliography in the newly created file.

When 2 references from the same year have been written by 2 authors with the same last name, EndNote will add the first name to distinguish them.

If the author in question is the only one with that last name, it means that it is recorded in more than one way in the EndNote library, e.g. :

• Dion, Julie
• Dion, J
• Dion, J.

EndNote considers these 3 entries as 3 different authors.

To fix the issue, do a search in EndNote with the author's name and make sure that the author's name is entered consistently in ALL references.

Go back to Word and do an update (Update Citations and Bibliography in the EndNote tab), and the problem should be fixed.
