The insert citation and format bibliography commands in the OS X version of EndNote expoect you to have Microsoft Word 2008 or 2011. Inserting citations in the Pages program must be done from Inside Pages. Open your EndNote library and your Word document. Both PC & Mac users should see an EndNote tab in the Word ribbon. If there is no EndNote X8 tab in the Word ribbon go to the CWYW FAQ; Place your cursor where you want to insert the citation in your Word document. Click on the Go to EndNote and highlight the reference you want to insert.
EndNote Basic's ' Cite While You Write' feature allows you to utilize the references stored in your EndNote Basic library for creating in-text citations, footnotes, and bibliographies in your Microsoft Word documents. The plug-in, if installed correctly, will include an EndNote toolbar in your copy of MS Word. You will be able to insert citations as you write your document, and the correctly formatted bibliography will build dynamically. At any time you will be able to switch format style and the entire document will instantaneously reformat. In your Endnote Basic account choose the FORMAT/CITE WHILE YOU WRITE PLUGIN tab.
Cite While You Write note: After downloading the plug-in, you may need to set the “application” to Endnote Online. You do this by opening Microsoft Word, and: • Windows: click on the Endnote tab, then “preferences” and “application”. Change “Endnote” to “Endnote Online”.
Enter in the URL box (if it is not already there), enter your Endnote Online username and password, and check the box labeled “remember my username and password”. • Mac: choose Tools, then Endnote, then Cite while You Write Preferences. Choose the “Application” tab. Click the radio button for Endnote Online, put in the URL box (if it is not already there), enter your Endnote Basic username and password, and check the box labeled “remember my username and password”. To begin using Cite While You Write, click on ' EndNote' tab in your MS Word toolbar to open a connection to your library.
Click on ' Find Citations' and search. Once you have located the reference you would like to use, highlight the reference and select ' Insert'. EndNote will automatically enter the in-text citation into your document formatted in the last output style you have selected in EndNote Basic. Use the drop-down menu on the Endnote tab or toolbar to change the document's citation style to any style you have added to your favorites. If you are using a style that requires footnotes, you will need to create a footnote as you normally would with MS Word.
How you do this varies by version on MS Word. Once your cursor is on the footnote, you can choose the the Endnote tab, choose ' Find Citations' and insert the citation.
From EndNote’s website: “Cite While You Write is not currently compatible with Office 2016 on Macintosh. We are actively developing a patch for EndNote X7 to fix this compatibility issue. We anticipate this free update to X7 to be ready by the Fall. We understand EndNote’s importance in completing your work and apologize for any inconvenience caused. To support Mac workflows as we develop the patch, we have the following recommendations to help Microsoft Office 365 users continue to create formatted citations and bibliographies in Microsoft Word. It is possible to have both Office 2011 and Office 2016 on the same computer.
If you want or need to install Office 2016, the recommendations outlined below will enable your continued use of EndNote to create formatted citations and bibliographies in your Word documents.”.
