Write n cite plug in for Microsoft Word 2017 and later, I cannot cite with RefWorks anymore
Write n' Cite plug-in for Microsoft Word 2017 and later, please. I cannot revert the update as my university won't let me download earlier version packages and I cannot cite using RefWorks anymore.
3 votesFor Word 2016 and above RefWorks Citation Manager (RCM) should be used. WnC is for Word 2016 and lower only. RCM is available for Windows and Mac through the Microsoft store.

What about Write-N-Cite in Word 2019?
Many new students are now working with Word 2019; does the newest version of Write-n-Cite (4.6.69) support this Word version?
1 voteThe new version of RCM (RefWorks Citation Manager) that will be released early 2020 will support Word 2019. WnC supports Word 2016 and lower, and currently there are no plans to have it support higher versions. Users of these versions should use RCM, available in the Microsoft store.

APA 6th website with no author
The current method that RCM uses does not look like the APA 6th method, e.g. APA 6th e.g. "The Quick Brown Fox," 2019 RCM e.g. The quick brown fox.2019.

Chicago 17th Author-Date style
Please make the style for Chicago 17th correct in all respects. I have found errors in the citation of journal articles and a chapter in an edited collection. There may be other errors. Strangely, the errors occur in newly entered references, not in references imported from legacy refworks. Also, any editing of an imported reference cause the citation to become incorrect.

WNC "formatting document" glitch
When using WNC, it is possible to get a glitch, which causes MS Word to freeze to "formatting document" when adding or removing references into the text. This is most likely due to existing "broken" references in the text. I managed to fix this by completely removing the citation and parts of the text surrounding it. Removing only the visibly broken citation in the text and saving caused the problem to reoccur. Problem is discussed here:

Fix MS Word Cite-n-Write plugin
MS Word Cite-n-Write plugin has many custom style related bugs and problems. Usually fields won't update values as expected when syncing and updating, and creating localizations is rather difficult. Also exporting and importing CSL styles is impossible or too complex.

Add "one line one cite" feature. Gives people ability to insert in-text citations in programs other than Word or Google Docs.
Our campus is using Microsoft Office 365. The "one line one cite" feature that was available in the Legacy version gives the option of being able to insert citations/create bibliographies in other writing software.

LibreOffice integration via a plugin (like Write-n-Cite with Word)
Although RefWorks supports exporting bibliographies in ODF format, it's missing the integration with LibreOffice. Other reference management tools do provide this, so it would be useful if RefWorks did as well. Thank you!

Cut and paste references in google docs
It would be great if it was possible to cut and paste in google docs without the references in the text you cut out disappears, or aren’t recognized as references when they are pasted into the text again.
They don’t do this immediately but when you update the document or change your citation style.2 votesThis is not technologically possible in Google Docs as this is a Google limitation, which RefWorks cannot change.

Browser neutral logging in to RCM add-in
When you try to log in to the RCM add-in, you have to have Internet Explorer loaded on your machine. If you don't get you get an error message (but it doesn't tell you why). I'm not a developer, but I'd be very surprised if there weren't a way to make this call browser neutral, rather than specifying a particular browser! Windows 10 is NOT delivered with IE, it only comes with Edge. We have to tell our students to download a useless outdated browser, just so that they can log into RCM!
1 voteUnfortunately the Internet Explorer requirement is a Microsoft restriction. You can read about it in these links:
