Cite While You Write

EndNote’s Cite While You Write (CWYW) lets you look up references, insert them in your document, format your bibliography, and edit your citations to include page numbers or other text, all from within your word processing document. Below are instructions for using Cite While You Write with Microsoft Word.

CITE WHILE YOU WRITE IN MICROSOFT WORD
When you install EndNote it will automatically communicate with Microsoft Word, enabling Cite While You Write (CWYW). In Word, you will see a tab on the ribbon titled EndNote 21. Click on the EndNote 21 tab to insert citations into your document. 

Adding Citations to a Document Using Insert Citation (in Microsoft Word):

  1. In the EndNote tab, click the Insert Citation button (outlined in red above) to open the Find & Insert My References window.
  2. In the Find & Insert My References window that appears, enter the author name(s) terms and click the Find button, or press the Enter/Return key. 
  3. Next, select (highlight) the reference(s) you want to insert. When you select a single reference, you will see the details for that reference in the bottom part of the window, but details can be shown for only a single reference. However, you can select multiple references for insertion by holding down the Control key and clicking on them, then selecting your insertion options from the Insert list.
  4. Your references will be inserted into the document and instantly formatted.

Adding Citations to a Document Using Insert Selected Citations (in EndNote application):

  1. In EndNote, select the references you want to insert into the Word document. You have two choices for how you insert them in the document. You can insert them in the document from EndNote using the first button of the set shown below, Insert Citation. This will insert the references wherever your cursor is located in Word.
  2. Your references will be inserted into the document and instantly formatted.
