When EndNote is installed on a computer with Microsoft Word already installed, an EndNote toolbar is added to the Word 'ribbon'. The EndNote toolbar enables you to insert in-text citations for records in your EndNote library, edit & manage citations, e.g. add page numbers, and manage the format of the corresponding automatically generated reference list.
Important notes:
- The EndNote cite-while-you-write (CWYW) option should only be used with a local copy of a documents saved on your computer. Documents that you normally store in the 'cloud', e.g. Dropbox, OneDrive (Microsoft), iCloud, Google Drive etc., will need to be copied to your local computer for use with EndNote.
- CWYW may not work at all with documents stored in the cloud, or the document may become corrupt over time.
Mac users
On some machines with Mojave, an error message may appear when using the "Insert Citation" option on the Word ribbon. Read the Instructions on how to avoid this issue.
