The Tabs panel includes three tabs: Reference, Preview, and PDF Viewer.
You can change the layout of the Library window by clicking the Layout button in the lower right-hand corner of the Library window to display a menu. There are seven different layouts from which to choose. See The Library Window for a description of the six layout options.
To change the height of the Tabs panel, click the bar that separates it from the reference list, and drag up or down. When the cursor is over this area, it changes to indicate that you are in the right place to resize the panel.
Select the Reference panel from the EndNote window to edit the contents of the highlighted reference in the Reference panel.
Most functionality is the same as working in the Reference window. Enter text in a field by clicking on the field. All edit commands are available via the menus including context-sensitive menus. Right-click in the reference to display common options such as Cut, Copy, and Paste.
Open the context-sensitive menu to view the following options.
The Tab key allows you to move to the next field in the Reference panel in order to edit the contents of a field.
The Shift+Tab keys allow you to move to the previous field within the Reference panel.
The F6 key allows you to navigate from the Groups panel (side panel), to the Reference List, to the Reference panel.
Note: If the Reference window is open, the Reference panel is in read-only mode. You cannot edit the fields. Only the Copy and Select All options are available by right-clicking in the panel. Most features, however, within the PDF Viewer panel are still available, such as Next Page, Previous Page, Zoom In, Zoom Out, Copy, and Print.
Select the Preview panel to view the formatted style of the selected reference.
The preview displays the selected reference in your current style. If multiple references are selected, it displays just the last one in the selection. Fields with the Preview feature are not editable. To edit the reference, open the reference in the Reference panel or the Reference window.
The Preview panel uses the current style. To select another style:
On the Main toolbar, use the Output Styles menu to select a new style.
From the Edit menu, select Output Styles and select a style in the list. The check mark next to a style name indicates that it is the current style.
EndNote provides over styles. They are available from the Style Manager. Go to the Edit menu, select Output Styles, and then select Open Style Manager. Mark the style or styles that you would like to see in the Output Styles menu. You should now be able to select the style that you need from the Output Styles menu. For more information, see The Style Manager.
You can also add styles to the menus using the Select Another Style option from the style list on the toolbar. Choose Select Another Style, select the style, and click Choose.
The Preview panel displays a preview for only one reference at a time formatted according to the current style. To preview multiple references:
Select (highlight) the references in the Library window.
From the Edit menu, select Copy Formatted to copy the formatted references to the Windows Clipboard.
Use the Windows Clipboard Viewer to view the contents of the Clipboard or Paste the formatted references into a word processor document.
You may find it useful to configure the Library window so that the reference list displays bibliographic data (such as author, year, title, and journal) and the Preview panel displays notes or abstracts. That would allow you to browse through the references in the Library window without having to open individual references to see more about them.
To get the preview to display notes or the abstract, you will need to create a custom style to include just those fields. See Printing Only the Notes for more information.
You can use the Show All Fields style to display all reference fields in the Preview panel.
Select the PDF Viewer Panel to view and annotate attached PDF files.
EndNote allows you to open, preview, and annotate PDF files within the PDF Viewer panel. Select a reference from the reference library, and then select a layout from the Layout menu to view a PDF file.
If no PDF files are attached to the reference, EndNote displays a message in the PDF Viewer panel. In this instance, you can begin attaching PDFs to the reference by clicking the Attach File button, and then selecting Attach File from the menu.
