These codes, called Field Codes, often interfere with publisher's software, so need to be removed before you submit your manuscript online. The process is easy, but permanent.

*Never remove field codes from your original document! This change is permanent and once made, you will not be able to edit the document with EndNote again. Always make a copy of your paper and remove the field codes from the copy.
A good way to make a copy of your paper is to choose File, Save As in Word and give the copy a similar but unique name, like thesiscopy1 etc.
