We had a strange thing happen today. A Word 5.1 file with citations in it got
lost from its library. ie. file A with library A was sent to person B who had
library B set as default in Endnote Module.

Person B formatted document (in error, I know) without having library A. 
Endnote went on and formatted file A with library B (I know, check window
was not turned on) and it formatted with only a message that a few citations
were not found. BUT the new citations were all from library B!!!! Both in the
body of the document and in the reference list!! Is there anyway to stop this
happening. I know we have to keep libraries and files together but I am
really surprised that EN only tracks citations by # (I think) and does not
have anyway to check that the library is the right one.

Anyone have thoughts, comments, ways to avoid this???
