A. RefWorks does not embed anything into the MSWord document (like EndNote does), so there is no problem with the citations when moving a document between platforms. RefWorks inserts temporary citation placeholders that RefWorks scans and “reads”. It then uses those temporary citation placeholders in conjunction with a selected output style to return a formatted version of the original document.
