Another way to add a citation is to select the needed reference in EndNote and then click the 'Insert Citation' icon in the EndNote desktop toolbar or click the EndNote Tools menu + point at Cite While You Write + click Insert Selected Citation(s). The option 'Insert Selected Citation(s)' adds the citation that is selected in the EndNote library.

The option 'Insert Citation' simply opens the find citation window like the magnifying glass does. Some other ways to add citations in Word (other than using the magnifying glass icon to search for the citations) are: click the lower part of the magnifying glass icon (says 'Insert Citation'). If the style needed is not installed, you can download the style from EndNote's website, save it in EndNote desktop, and then select it in Word. Word will use the citation style that is selected in the EndNote ribbon, and you can change the style by clicking the Style list or click Select Another Style to search for a style that is installed on the computer but not yet listed. You can also use the control key to select more than one reference to cite at one time. Click on the reference you want to cite, and then click the Insert button. In the Find field, you can search for the citation to add by any word in the reference or search for * and all references in your EndNote library will be listed.

EndNote can add citations in Word almost automatically and also change from one citation style to another.Īfter you've added references to your EndNote library, to cite them in Word, one recommended way is to go to Word, open a document, then click on the EndNote ribbon in Word, then click the magnifying glass icon at the left of the ribbon.
