When citing in Vancouver style, it is more common to display citations as 1 or (1) rather than Word's default of (1) when using the built in citation manager.
Is there a way to force Word to display them in this alternate format? This website would seem to suggest not, however I'm wondering if anyone here has any thoughts? I'm not adverse to changing the citation style in program files, I would just appreciate some advice on how to do it assuming there is no easy fix that I'm missing.
Short answer is "no."
It is precisely because the Reference page is automatically generated that this functionality is not available. (For the same reason that outline headers don't hyperlink back to the generated Table of Contents.) (Conceivably, I suppose, citations on the reference page could link back to where they are cited in the document, but of course this would be problematic due to the 1-n nature of citations.)
What is it that you are trying to accomplish? You realize, I'm sure, that you can edit the citations right on the page, right?
Highlight a header in the text, then open the Paragraph dialog box (right click the paragraph and choose Paragraph from menu).
In the Indents and Spacing tab, change Outline level to proper number.

The Word built-in reference tool has a style called "IEEE" which has similar citations except that the number is not in superscript. IEEE format
Inorder to make the citation in superscript, you should modify the style file which is in the
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Bibliography\Stylefolder.Back up the
IEEE2006OfficeOnline.xslfile, and find the string<xsl:template name="Citation">.In this segment, you can find
<body>and</body>, change these to<body><xsl:element name="sup">and</xsl:element></body>.Then the citation looks like this below. modified IEEE format
