The above directions for inserting citations into a Word
document comprise one way of getting this task done (the
options are many but this is my preferred method).
90. 90
If you need to edit the citations
inserted into Word from EndNote, the
easiest way is to go to the full
reference view in EndNote to make
the editing changes and save that
record by closing the viewing pane and
saving. Then go to Word and select
Update citations and bibliography
from the EndNote toolbar in Word. The
saved changes will be reflected in the
Word Document a miracle, btw.

How to create a stand-alone bibliography
in Word from selected citations stored in
EndNote?
1.Open Word to a new document and save as a named
file. Type the title at the top of the page and put curser
where you want the bibliography to start.
2.In EndNote, select (highlight) the citations you want to
include in the bibliography.
3.From the EndNote toolbar, select EditCopy
Formatted and then in the Word Document simply Ctrl-V
for paste and the bibliography is built to save and/or print.
The citation format is set in the EndNote program and
cannot be changed in Word. Fonts and line-spacing can
be easily changed and edited.
93. 93
Print (on the fly) a list of citations directly
from EndNote resulting in a printed
Bibliography.
1.Highlight the citations you want to include
2.Select File Print
(Note: the Numbered style works well when
printing a list of references from your EndNote
library).
94. 94
Can I convert an EndNote coded
bibliography to Plain Text? Yes.
Click on the bibliography text in Word the citations are now
grayed-in. From the EndNote menu in Word, select “Convert
Citations and Bibliography” Convert to Plain Text. The
bibliography will no longer be connected to EndNote and will
be easier to modify in Word for a stand-alone bibliography. This
is not a reversible process, so use it when you are completely
finished building your bibliography.
96. 96
How to save an EndNote Library to a flash drive
From the File menu in EndNote select Compressed
Library (.enlx) and use the file dialog to save
filename.enlx OR email your library to yourself or
someone else
97. 97
If you already have documents on your
computer you can import and attach
them to references in your EndNote
Library?
Yes. With your EndNote library open, highlight the
reference to receive the file (PDF, Word, jpg, etc.). Look
at the view in the split window click on the paper clip
select a file from your computer Open and the
imported file will show in the document window. Don’t
see the attachment? Click on the Reference tab not the
attach or the preview.
98. 98
How do I enter a government office or
agency into EndNote as an author?
Here is the answer one of our student’s figured out:
1.Change the reference type to “government document”
2.U.S. Department of Education,, Office of Educational
Technology
Yes, two commas! Tells EndNote to treat the whole name
of the government body as a surname.
Another example of government departmental author:
Department of Health,, Welfare and Social Security
102. 102

that your citations have come through. You can now
run the Find Full Text function, if you choose, to attach
PDF files to your citations.
