I have seen this problem occur with version 1.0 of the Plug-in Module. When
the Module formats the citations in your paper, it is only checking on the
EndNote record number. Therefore, if one of your references was inserted
from another library, and the library you are now using to format the paper
has a reference with the same record number, it will format the reference
using the wrong information.
The best solution is to convert all your citations to text citations, then
convert them back to Module citations. This conversion will do a check on
the author, year and record number. It will then prompt you when it comes
upon a citation it can not find in the library. You can then rectify the
discrepancy.

Please let me know if this does not help you fix the problem.
