I can't seem to delete in-text citations. I delete the code but when I format the document the reference reappears. What am I doing wrong?

Write-n-Cite III inserts a lot of code that isn't visible in the Word document. You can't delete this code by simply deleting the visible code in the Word document.

To delete an in-text citation when using Write-n-Cite III:
1. In Word, place your cursor in the code or in the formatted citation of interest.
2. In Write-n-Cite III, click on "Edit Citation" (The "Edit Citation" link is in tiny print and appears very near the upper right-hand corner of the Write-n-Cite III window.)
3. A "Citation Editor" pop-up window will appear. The window will contain a "Preview" of your formatted citation. Below the preview area is a list of the references in the in-text citation of interest.
4. Find the reference you wish to remove and click on the "Remove" link for this reference.
5. Close the "Citation Editor" pop-up.
6. Remember to save your Word document to make the change permanent.
