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.

Import filter for ICTRP (clinical trials database)
Please could you provide an import filter for .xml files of references which can be exported from the ICTRP database:

Provide the ability to add different reference types to an existing style
There are new forms of information all the time and students are referencing increasingly varied things in their assignment. It would be useful if we could add new reference types to our institutional referencing style to cover these things.

alternate titles confusing in record editing view
My concern is that the record editing interface (for Book Section) confuses the 'Book alternate title' and the 'Book section title'
Please see attachment #1: there, it is logical that the alternate title for the Book (Edited Collection) appears below the original Book title.
However, as attachment #2 shows, when editing a ‘Book Section’ record, the Alternate Title field appearing below the (book section) Title is confusing, since that field will hold the book alternate title.
What I'm suggesting here is that in a Book section record, the field should be called 'Book alternate title' and appear below Book Title.

Ignore punctuation in bibliography
The ordering of titles surrounded by inverted commas is separate to those titles that do not have inverted commas, in a bibliography.
Is it possible to ignore the inverted commas so that all titles are listed alphabetically, regardless of punctuation?I have tried ediing the 'title' field in the Bibliography settings but I don't see any option to ignore punctuation here.

I attempted to set up the synchronizing with RefWorks from ProQuest and now I cannot import citations at all.
I attempted to follow the instructions from a ProQuest database to synchronize My Research folders with RefWorks. I had an existing RefWorks account and followed the instructions from ProQuest. Now I cannot import citations from EBSCO EDS or ProQuest Databases.
I am directed to the login screen. I login with my account, however, it will not import the citation. I have tried this with the Chrome, Firefox and Next browser.
I would delete my RefWorks account and try again but the login is tied to my college email address so I can't use a different email address to try to…1 vote
