EndNote Help & Installation

What is Cite While You Write?

CWYW allows you to incorporate references from your EndNote library directly into a WORD document as in-text citations and as footnotes.

When you install EndNote onto your computer that already has WORD, a tab will be created in Word that works with EndNote.

Note: To use Word with EndNote Online, you'll need to install a plugin.

Before sending your WORD Document...

It is usually a good idea to create a copy of your document without the EndNote formatting before sending it to someone else. They won't be able to edit or delete your EndNote references from your paper.

  • In Word, click the EndNoteX# tab
  • In the Bibliography section, click the “Convert Citations and Bibliography” dropdown arrow
  • Select “Convert to Plain Text” -- be sure to save a copy of the original EndNote-formatted version
