When you come to writing a document, there are two ways to insert a citation from EndNote. The first of these, is to use the EndNote plugin in your word processor.
Method 1
- Click on the EndNote tab in Word.
- Select the Insert Citation icon. This opens the Find & Insert My References dialog.
- Search for the reference you wish to insert. This could be a title, author, or keyword. Select Find.
- Select the reference you wish to insert. If you wish to select multiple references, hold down CTRL or Cmd.
- Click on Insert or use one of the drop-down menu options below the Insert button.
The second way to insert references is from within the EndNote program itself.
Method 2
- In Word, place your cursor where you wish the citation to appear.
- Open your EndNote 20 library and browse or search for the reference you wish to insert. Select any reference to be inserted.
- Insert the citation by clicking Tools > Cite While You Write > Insert Selected Citations(s).
Tip: You will not be able to edit references in Word as the contents of these fields are controlled by the EndNote 20 program. If you need to edit a reference, return to EndNote, edit the reference there, and then click on Update citations and bibliography in Word.
