EndNote

A comprehensive guide to the reference management software EndNote.

Troubleshooting

  • Open the EndNote library record and add a comma directly after the last letter of the name
  • Check Tips for manual entry for more detail
  • Sometimes the tab doesn't install correctly when Endnote is downloaded
  • See EndNote X8 tab for instructions on customising, configuring or reinstalling the tab
  • The Instant Formatting option has probably been turned off
  • To turn formatting back on, click Update Citations and Bibliography
  • First check that the style selector has been set to APA 7th as described in the style section of Get the Software
  • If that doesn't work, try other troubleshooting topics for resolving page number or curly bracket problems
  • In Word go to Edit & Manage Citation in the EndNote tab
  • Select the reference
  • Under Edit citation use the Formatting drop-down
  • Select Show Only in Bibliography and OK
  • Citations and bibliography entries created using EndNote's Cite While You Write (CWYW) functionality have embedded field codes
  • As these negate normal Word commands, any changes must be done using options on the CWYW tab
