You may work with several separate Word documents that forms a larger piece of work, for example, chapters of a thesis.  If you would like to combine these to create one long document that contains one reference list at the end, you will have to merge them: 

• Save a copy of all Word documents you want to merge 

• Open each document 

• Go to the EndNote tab 

• Click on Convert Citations and Bibliography 

• Select Convert to Unformatted Citations 

Once you have carried out the steps above for each document, the in-text citations will then appear in curly brackets, for example, {Alander, 2015 #13960}.  The reference list will also disappear. 

To merge each of these documents: 

• Open a new blank Word document 

• Highlight and copy the content of each document and paste it into the new blank document 

• Continue copying and pasting each document in the order you want them to appear 

• Once finished, go to the EndNote tab 

• Click on Update Citations and Bibliography 

• Save the new document 

The in-text citations should then be reformatted and a single reference list will appear at the bottom of the document in your chosen style.
