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.
Go To EndNote: Bring EndNote to the front of your screen. This command launches EndNote if it is not already running.
Insert Citation: Search for EndNote references to select and insert as citations in your Word document. See Finding and Inserting Citations.
Configure Bibliography: Format (or reformat) your paper according to the rules of the selected style. The formatting process replaces the temporary citations in your paper with formatted citations, and builds a bibliography at the end of the document. See Configuring the Bibliography.
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.)
Insert Selected Citation(s): Insert a citation for each reference currently selected in the open EndNote library. You can insert up to 250 consecutive in-text citations. See Inserting Selected Citations.
Edit & Manage Citation(s): Edit existing individual or multiple citations. You can omit author and/or year from citations or add prefix or suffix text (such as page numbers) to citations. See Editing Citations.
Insert Note: Add custom text citations to your Word document. See Inserting Notes in the List of References.
Edit Library Reference(s): Select citations in your Word document, then select this command to directly edit the corresponding references in EndNote. See Editing a Reference in the Library.
Unformat Citation(s): Unformat a selected citation before editing it or unformat the whole document. This removes style formatting for the selected citations, and leaves temporary citations which usually consist of the author’s last name, the year, and the record number surrounded by delimiters. See Unformatting Citations.
Remove Field Codes: Save a copy of your document without formatted Cite While You Write field codes. Formatted citations and the bibliography are saved as text. See Removing Field Codes.
Export Traveling Library: Create an EndNote library from the references used in a paper. See Exporting Word's Traveling Library.
Find Figure(s):Search for an EndNote reference that contains an image, and insert a figure or table citation in your Word document. The citation is numbered, and the figure or table is automatically added to the document. See Finding and Inserting Figures and Tables.
Generate Figure List: Update your figure and table citations plus the formatted figures and tables found within the body of the document or in a list at the end of the document. See Updating Figures and Tables.
Cite While You Write Preferences: Change general Cite While You Write preferences, change the EndNote keyboard shortcuts available in Word, change figure and table settings, or switch to EndNote online Cite While You Write. See Setting Cite While You Write Preferences.
Help: Display help about Cite While You Write features.
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.
