Cite While You Write Commands

When Cite While You Write is installed, several EndNote commands appear on an EndNote X9 submenu of the Tools menu in Word.

When you select an EndNote command from the menu, the EndNote program starts (if not already running) and a Cite While You Write submenu becomes active on EndNote’s Tools menu, displaying some of the same EndNote commands available in Word.

Note: When you use Cite While You Write Preferences to choose EndNote online as the active Cite While You Write Application, an EndNote menu in Word. The EndNote online menu contains a smaller set of CWYW commands.

Below are brief descriptions of the Cite While You Write commands found on the EndNote X9 submenu of the Tools menu in Word.

Note: By default, Instant Formatting is turned on, so your citations and bibliography are automatically formatted as you work. (Instant Formatting is not available when working with EndNote online.)

Note: Several Cite While You Write commands also appear on the Tools menu in EndNote. To use these commands from within EndNote, you must use at least one Cite While You Write command from within Word during the current session.
