EndNoteCite While You WritePC Edition

Cite While You Write allows you to add citations and build a bibliography as you write in Word.

To get started, open a new or existing Word document and your EndNote Library and place your cursor where your citation should appear.

Click on the EndNote X7 tab. This should have been installed automatically when you installed EndNote.

Under the EndNote X7 tab, click on the drop down menu next to Style to select your citation style.

Under the EndNote X7 tab, click on Insert Citation.

Search for an item in your EndNote Library.

Choose what format you need for your in-text citation. The default will display as (Author, Year).

Your citation will appear in the text of your document.

You can also select items to be cited directly from your EndNote Library.

In your EndNote Library, choose the items to be cited.(Tip: Hold down Ctrl to select multiple items.)

Under the EndNote X7 tab in Word, choose Insert Selected Citation.

Selected items will appear in your document.

Citations can also be edited.

To edit a citation, under the EndNote X7 tab, click on Edit & Manage Citations.

Choose a citation and then edit the information as needed. You can also edit information about the reference in your EndNote library to make permanent changes to that source.

Remember that you may still need to make some formatting changes to your bibliography to conform to your chosen citation style.

For example, for APA style, this references list will need to be double-spaced.

Always double-check your citations against the style guide for a given citation style.
