Hi and thank you so much.

If you right click on the reference [1] in the MS Word and select "Toggle Field
Codes", you can see the field codes. Then Open this file in LibreOffice Writer
and just save it without any change. Again open the file in MS Word and check
the field codes. Although it is still field codes, EndNote cannot detect it.

I attached four screenshots. First, compare these two:
1.MSWord_original.png
1.MSWord_savedByLibreWriter.png
You can see that EndNote cannot detect the reference after saving by Libre
Writer.

Then, compare these two:
2.MSWord_original.png
2.MSWord_savedByLibreWriter.png
Now, the field codes are not the same and that's why EndNote hasn't detect it.

I found that a space after { is omitted by LibreOffice Writer.
Adding a simple space after the first character { manually, can fix the issue
and EndNote software detects it as a field. I tried it and it worked.
{ADDIN EN.CITE
{ ADDIN EN.CITE
This workaround does not work for multiple references [1, 2] and this needs
another way.

Hope these explanations help. Please let me know if i can be of any help.

I look forward to your solution.

Best,
Mohammadreza
