Finding Text in a Single Reference

When you have a reference that contains a significant amount of text, such as long abstracts or notes, it can get hard to find things!

To jump to specific text within a reference with the Go To command:

  1. Open a reference. The Go To command works on the currently open reference. If more than one reference is open, it works on the topmost reference.

  2. From the Reference menu, select Go To.

  3. Type the text you want to locate, and then click Next (or press Enter Return).

    The number of characters you can enter in the Go To dialog depends on the size of the symbols . When pasting text in the dialog, be aware of this limitation. The Go To dialog also includes a drop-down list of recently searched terms.

EndNote will jump to the text and highlight it within the reference. You can use Go To again to find the next occurrence or click Cancel to dismiss the Go To dialog.
