Occasionally, Write-n-Cite III users will click a "cite" link and end up waiting fruitlessly, and seemingly forever, for the insertion of RefWorks code. Sometimes Word will stop responding to mouse and keyboard clicks.
If this happens, you will probably end up having to close Write-n-Cite and Word. There are several things you might want to try.
Before trying these it is important to determine whether you are using the correct version of Write-n-Cite. With Windows Vista or Word 2007, you must use Write-n-Cite III. With Macs you must use Write-n-Cite 2.5 or 2.0 (Write-n-Cite 2 is no longer available for download but if you downloaded it in the past, it will still work with versions of Word for Mac that PREDATE Word 2008. For Word 2008, you must install Write-n-Cite 2.5)
If you have installed the correct version of Write-n-Cite, here are the things you might need to try:
A. Sometimes restarting your computer will fix the problem. After restarting your computer, you can reopen your document, open Write-n-Cite, log-in, try inserting a citation. If Word freezes again, you may be able to use the task manager to close Word and Write-n-Cite. Try clicking the Ctl/Alt/Delete keys to reach the task manager. If you reach the task manager try ending the Word and Write-n-Cite tasks. If this doesn't work, you'll have to restart the computer.
B. Sometimes there's a problem with your Word document that can be easily fixed. After restarting the computer or ending Write-n-Cite and Word with the task manager, try opening a new (blank) Word document, open Write-n-Cite, click one of the "cite" links. Is code inserted promptly in the new document? If so, there may be a problem with your old document. You can usually solve this problem easily by creating a new copy of your document, To create a new copy of your document,1) use Word's "Edit" menu to select "Select all"; 2) use Word's "Edit" menu to select "Copy"; 3) open a new (blank) Word document; 4) use Word's "Edit" menu in the new (blank) document to select "Paste"; 5) the new document should now be an identical copy of your old document; 6) save the newly created copy of the old document with a new name; 7) open Write-n-Cite from within the newly created copy; 8) try clicking on a "cite" link. Hopefully the cite links will work in the new copy of your document.
C. If options A and B don't work, try reinstalling Write-n-Cite. Be sure you close Microsoft Word before you install Write-n-Cite. To reinstall Write-n-Cite, 1)use an internet browser to go to your RefWorks account (go to RefWorks not Write-n-Cite), 2) place your cursor over the RefWorks "Tools" menu and select "Write-n-Cite", 3) a pop-up window with download links will appear, 4) click on the appropriate download link, 5) if you are using Internet Explorer you will need to click "Run" a couple times -- Be sure you say "Yes" when asked whether you want to uninstall the old version of Write-n-Cite, 6) when the uninstall is complete proceed to the installation, 7) you will need to click "Next" several times and then "Finish", 8) Say "NO" when asked whether you want to start Write-n-Cite now. Now open a blank Word document, open Write-n-Cite and try inserting a citation. If this works open the document of interest and try inserting a citation in that document.
D. If these steps don't work, let us know (we may have heard of some additional things to try). Alternately, you may wish to contact Refworks tech support. To contact RefWorks Tech Support, open your RefWorks account, place your cursor over the "Help" menu and click on "Contact Us."

Firefox "Secure Connection Failed" warnings
Here are the steps that are needed to gain access to several library resources (including RefWorks) when the Firefox "Secure Connection Failed" warning appears. 1) When the "Secure Connection Failed" message appears while you are trying to access a Library resource, click on the "Or you can add an exception" link. 2) The display will change slightly. Click on the "Add Exception" button that appears. 3) The "Add Security Exception" dialog box will appear. Click on the "Get Certificate" button. 4) The display will change slightly. Click on the "Confirm Security Exception" button. 5) When you click on RefWorks in the future, you may be warned about the bad security certificate and, if prompted, should click the button or link that indicates your desire to continue to the website.

Linking to a pdf or other file stored on a computer
Facilitating access to full-text through RefWorks by adding links to saved files
A few points to consider before you begin:
You may have problems linking to documents stored on your C:\drive. The inability to link from web pages to files on the C:\ drive is a security feature that was introduced in Windows XP Service Pack 2. If you have documents stored on a folder on your C:\ drive, perhaps you can copy them to a server with a stable location name? If you wish to obtain access to files saved on a server from multiple computers, it is important that the server in question have the same drive name (e.g. H:\) on all the computers.
The method described below works best if you use Internet Explorer.
Creating links to saved files is easiest if you avoid using spaces or underscores in filenames and folder names, but it is possible, with a little more work, to create links to folders/files with underscores and spaces in their names.
In order to link to a file on your computer you may need to specify RefWorks as a trusted site within your browser. If you are using Internet Explorer you would do the following:1. Go to Tools and Internet Options. 2. Click on the Security tab and click on Trusted Site. 3. Click on Sites and type in https://www.refworks.com/.
The notes above and the instructions below have been excerpted, with the exception of a few minor revisions, from: RefWorks: Linking to Full-text. University of Wisconsin -- Madison, last updated August 28, 2008, accessed September 30,2008. Available at: http://www.library.wisc.edu/refworks/quick-start.html#link-to-full-text
Adding a link to a pdf or other file stored on a computer
1. Find and copy the complete path/pathway to your .pdf/file.
An easy way to get the path to your saved file is to use your web browser. The following instructions apply to Internet Explorer 7. Open your web browser and click on File and Open. An "Open" dialog box will appear. Click on the "Browse" button. A "Windows Internet Explorer" dialog box will appear. Use the box's "File as type" drop-down menu to select "All files". Browse to your file location, click on the file and click the "Open" button. You now can copy the pathway from the "Open:" box (in the "Open" dialog box) or click the "Open" button (in the "Open" dialog box) and copy the pathway from the browser's "Address" box. The pathway may look something like the following:
E:\reflinks\sample.pdf
2. Click on the "Edit" link in the appropriate RefWorks record (the "Edit" link is next to the "Check for UNMC full-text" button). The "Edit Reference" screen will appear. Paste the path into either the "links" or "url" field.
3. Edit the pasted path as follows
a. Type --
file:///
-- before the path. This will create a link that looks something like the following:
Example: file:///E:/reflinks/sample.pdf
b. replace any spaces in the path with --
%20
If our file name had been "sample document", our edited link would look like the following:
Example: file:///E:/Reflinks/sample%20document.pdf
c. Underscores should not be replaced. Unfortunately, they can resemble spaces when an entire link is underlined.
4. Click on "Save Reference".
5. Click on the "View" link to display your record with the linked file pathway. Simply click on the link to open and view the pdf or file.
The links you add to records will be visible whenever you use the "Switch to" menu to display the "Full View" in RefWorks.

I'm getting a -- 'length' is null or not an object -- error message. What should I do?
If you are seeing this message, you are probably using Write-n-Cite III. Sometimes Write-n-Cite III users insert citations in a specific location and then realize they don't want any citations in that location. Using the "Edit Citation" link it is possible to remove the inserted references, but it is easy to forget to remove the curly-Q brackets defining the in-text location as an in-text citation site. Use Ctl F or Edit->Find to search for instances of {{. Alternately, search for {{}}, then for {{ }}, then for {{ }}, etc. to find empty sets of curly-Q brackets separated by different numbers of spaces. When you find an empty {{ }}, highlight it and delete it.
Some Ref Works users will remember that it used to be necessary to revert to Write-n-Cite II before removing the {{}}'s and then convert back to Write-n-Cite III. Fortunately, all this reverting and converting is no longer necessary.

RefWorks isn't working. What should I do?
RefWorks like any internet-based resource will occasionally stop working for unclear reasons. Before deciding that something is wrong with RefWorks worldwide, I try clicking on my internet browser's "Refresh" button. If the "Refresh" button doesn't produce a functioning version of RefWorks, I try one of the following maneuvers at a time until I reach a functioning version of Refworks:
With Refworks the only other thing I might try is changing the way I access the RefWorks website. Instead of using the link to RefWorks on the Library's homepage, I would try going directly to http://www.refworks.com, using the Log-in button, entering UNMC's group code, and then logging into my account. Going straight to refworks.com can solve a couple of different potential problems. If you are working from outside the campus network, going straight to refworks.com lets you avoid communicating through the Library's proxy server. The proxy server makes your communications look like they're coming from on-campus which improves your access to full-text journal articles, but the proxy server also slows communications, and comes with a time-out function which can prematurely terminate long uploads or downloads. If your problems originate when you try to upload or download a large file, it's definitely worth avoiding the proxy server time-out by accessing RefWorks directly through the www.refworks.com site. When you're on-campus, the way you access RefWorks shouldn't matter. However, there was one instance recently when IP addresses weren't being assigned correctly on campus (the campus uses a non-fixed IP system) and this caused problems with resource access from many campus computers. It's possible that going straight to www.refworks.com might be helpful in that type of situation -- but not certain.
If none of the steps listed above gets you back to a functioning version of RefWorks, call the Library Reference Desk 559-6221 or contact RefWorks technical support. It's possible that RefWorks is experiencing server problems, etc. but, if not, we may be able to help. If you contact us by e-mail, please describe the exact step/s that isn't/aren't working.
- I try closing all my browser windows and then open a new iteration of the browser.
- I try using the Internet browser's "Tools" menu to access "Options" or "Internet Options" and then delete all cookies, cached internet files and my internet history.
- I try using a different internet browser. Since I usually use Internet Explorer, I would try switching to Mozilla Firefox.
- I restart my computer.
I've rarely encountered a situation when one of the above steps doesn't work.

Where I can obtain an electronic record for a book?
You might be best served by entering the book information manually. To do this use the "References" menu to select "Add New Reference." Be sure to select the correct "Ref Type." If you are wanting to cite a book chapter, you would need to select "Book, Section." If you want to cite the whole book and the names you have listed are authors and not editors, you would use "Book, Whole." If the names you have listed are editors, you would use "Book, edited." Use the "see detail" links to get to instructions for entering data (especially authors names) in the fields.
There are several sources for partial, electronic records for books. Almost all of these sources are library catalogs or databases of library catalog records. For example, you can search WorldCat for the book of interest and export the record from WorldCat to RefWorks. Click on the "W" link on the Library's homepage to reach WorldCat. Alternately, you can use the Refworks "Search" menu to select "Online catalog or database." Use the drop-down menu to select the "Library of Congress" or other library that is likely to own the book of interest to you and then enter your search terms. I should warn you, however, that you will have to edit the record that you import into your account from either of the sources I've mentioned. Catalog records don't always include all author or editor names. They don't always distinguish authors from editors, etc. So you will need to check all the information that is imported into your Refworks account. It is sometimes more difficult to edit a record accurately than to enter the information manually.

How do I move my RefWorks references into EndNote
The following is based on my knowledge of EndNote 8. Please, do let me know if you find that the process is not identical in your version of EndNote.
There are three parts to this process. You must first export a RIS format file from RefWorks. You must then edit the RIS format file you've saved. Finally, you will have to import the edited file into EndNote.
A. Export a RIS format file
If you are exporting from a RefShare folder:
1. Go to the Refshare folder
2. Select the references you wish to export. You can export several references from a single page, a whole page, or the whole list. To export a whole page, click the "Page" radiobutton above the "Add to My List" and "Export" buttons. To export the whole list of references, click the "adjacent "All in list" radiobutton.
3. Click on the Export button. The "Export" page will appear.
4. On the "Export" page, click the "Bibliographic Software (EndNote,Reference Manager,ProCite)" radiobutton
5. Make sure pop-up blockers are disabled.
6. Hit the "Export to a text file" button at the bottom of the page.
7. The records will appear in RIS format in a new window. Use the browser "File" menu to "Save As" the file type should be set on "Text File (*.txt)". If it isn't, select "Text File (*.txt)", name the file, click the "Save" button and proceed to part "B". below
If you are exporting directly from your Refworks account
1. Log into your RefWorks account
2. Use the "References" menu to select "Export"
3. For "References to include," select the references you wish to export ("all references," references from a specific folder, etc.)
4. For "Export format," select " Bibliographic Software (EndNote,Reference Manager,ProCite)
5. Click the "Export to Text File" button
6. A "please wait" message will appear.
7. A new webpage containing "RIS Format" references will either open on its own or you may have to click a link to open the new page. I've pasted an example of a RIS format reference below.

8. Use the internet browser's "File" menu to select "Save as." A "Save web page" dialog box will appear.
9. In the "Save web page" dialog box, choose a "Save in" location that you will be able to find, give your file a name you will remember, choose the "Text File (*.txt)" option from the "Save as type" drop-down menu, and click the "Save" button.
B. Edit the RIS format file you've saved
1. Open the saved file from part A.
2. If the file is large, I would recommend copying the entire contents of the file and pasting the copied contents into a Word document for editing. Why? "Replace all" edits as described in steps 3 and 4 of these instructions can stall out in programs like Word Pad or Notepad. If you do choose to do the editing in Word, when the editing process is complete, use Word's "File" menu to select "Save as" and then you will have to choose "Plain text (*.txt) from the "Save as type" drop-down menu before saving the edited file.
3. Use the "Edit" menu to select "Replace." Then have the program find
AB -
(there are two spaces between the B and the hyphen)
and replace it with
N2 -
(there are two spaces between the 2 and the hyphen)
Wait for the replacement process to complete. This step will insure that the abstract is placed in the abstract field in EndNote.
4. Use the "Edit" menu to select "Replace." Then have the program find
EP -
(there are two spaces between the P and the hyphen)
and replace it with
-
Wait for the replacement process to complete.
This step should result in the insertion of a hyphen and then the end page number after the start page number in the EndNote "pages" field.
5. Save the edited file.
C. Import the edited file into EndNote
1. Open the EndNote library you to which you wish to add your EndNote references. **If you haven't already imported journal abbreviation lists into your EndNote Library, you should do this before bringing any refrences into your Library.** (at least this was an important step in setting up libraries in EndNote 8 and earlier. It involved using the "Tools" menu to "Open Term Lists" and selecting "Journals." Please see your manual for further info this and any other steps you should take before importing references.)
2. Use the EndNote "File" menu to select "import."
3. When the "Import" dialog box appears, use the "Choose File " button to locate the revised file saved in step B.5. above.
4. Use the "Import Option" drop-down menu to select "Other filters." The "Choose an Import Filter" box should appear eventually. Scroll down to find and highlight "RefMan RIS." Hit the "Choose" button. The "RefMan RIS" filter should now be chosen in your "Import" dialog box and will appear among the short list of filters in the "Import dialog box's "Choose an Import Filter" drop-down menu in the future.
5. Leave the other settings on their defaults ("Import all" and "No translation")
6. Click the "Import" button.
7. A list of the newly imported references will appear. To see these as part of the entire list of references in your library, you will have to use the EndNote "References" menu to "Show all references."
There are three parts to this process. You must first export a RIS format file from RefWorks. You must then edit the RIS format file you've saved. Finally, you will have to import the edited file into EndNote.
A. Export a RIS format file
If you are exporting from a RefShare folder:
1. Go to the Refshare folder
2. Select the references you wish to export. You can export several references from a single page, a whole page, or the whole list. To export a whole page, click the "Page" radiobutton above the "Add to My List" and "Export" buttons. To export the whole list of references, click the "adjacent "All in list" radiobutton.
3. Click on the Export button. The "Export" page will appear.
4. On the "Export" page, click the "Bibliographic Software (EndNote,Reference Manager,ProCite)" radiobutton
5. Make sure pop-up blockers are disabled.
6. Hit the "Export to a text file" button at the bottom of the page.
7. The records will appear in RIS format in a new window. Use the browser "File" menu to "Save As" the file type should be set on "Text File (*.txt)". If it isn't, select "Text File (*.txt)", name the file, click the "Save" button and proceed to part "B". below
If you are exporting directly from your Refworks account
1. Log into your RefWorks account
2. Use the "References" menu to select "Export"
3. For "References to include," select the references you wish to export ("all references," references from a specific folder, etc.)
4. For "Export format," select " Bibliographic Software (EndNote,Reference Manager,ProCite)
5. Click the "Export to Text File" button
6. A "please wait" message will appear.
7. A new webpage containing "RIS Format" references will either open on its own or you may have to click a link to open the new page. I've pasted an example of a RIS format reference below.
