"Remove Field Codes" in WnC is an invaluable function for faculty and grad students. Please add to RCM.
Publishers do not want RefWorks field codes in submitted manuscripts. WnC provides this valuable function, but faculty and graduate students, who because of their platform must use RCM, do not have this feature. I submit that RCM must have this capability for this population of users.
24 votesRCM does not use field codes; it uses content control. To utilize this, you will want to follow these steps:
- Write your document in Word, as usual.
- Insert desired citations using RCM
- Select all contents in Word (Ctrl+a)

There are some ways to edit the in-line citations (ex: supress author, add suffix), but no way to edit the overall display format like there is for the bibliography format in the output styles. An example of how this is useful is when I want to cite multiple sources but have a semi-colon between references rather than a comma, since I am delineating specific page numbers and am already using a comma for that.

Stop Deleting Comments so Easily
On a document, I am writing many lengthy comments, yet it seems I keep clicking to edit a comment that I have already written and the entire paragraph worth of comments is deleted. Please make a function where it prompts a box to ask if the user wants to delete the comment rather than deleting it automatically.

make the remove field code function for RCM
Make the remove field code function for RCM
1 voteThank you for your feedback. Field codes in MS Office add-ins are controlled by Microsoft. To remove content control in Word while using RCM, right click on in-text citation and click Remove Content Control. Note, once this is done, RCM will no longer recognize the in-text citation, as it will be saved as text.
