When I add a source without a date to my Microsoft Word document in Microsoft Word 2015 (15.17.1) on OS X 10.11.2 and insert a citation, the inserted field states (Author, kein Datum) in German ( kein Datum translates to no date). But I'm writing this document in English language and want the inserted field to actually state no date in English. In the bottom line, Word states that the document language is English (UK) and my system language ( System Preferences > Language & Region) is also English. How can I change the language of the inserted field containing the citation? An easier approach (if you only have a few citations to change & you won't be modifying your text anymore) is to change the citation into a 'Static text' and manually rewriting the citation.

• What you do is you find the citation that you wish to edit. • Click it once so that the the 'grey background' appears behind the text and on the right side of the 'grey background' a blue arrow also appears. • Click the arrow and a drop down list should appear. • Click 'Convert Citations to Static Text' Now the Citation is free to be manually edited.
