Cite while you write in Endnote (Mac)

Updated on

1. Click on the EndNote tab.

Note: It is best to close all other programs before installing EndNote, most especially Word and Outlook. When installing Word and EndNote on a new computer, always install Word first to enable EndNote to find Word and be able to install the Cite While YouWrite tools.

2. Click the Insert Citation button to open the Find & Insert My References window.

3. The EndNote Find & Insert My References dialog box will appear. Enter your search terms and press the Enter/Return key to bring up a set of references that contain those search terms.

The terms can be any information present in an EndNote reference, but all the terms must be present in the same reference.

4. Next, select (highlight) the reference(s) you want to insert. Then, click Insert.

You can select multiple references for insertion by holding down the Command key and clicking on them, then selecting your insertion options from the Insert list.

5. Your references will be inserted in the document and instantly formatted.
