You can search for EndNote references and insert them without ever leaving Word.
This is the easiest way to find and insert a citation into a Word document:
Open the EndNote libraries that contain the references you wish to cite.
Open the Word document and position the cursor at the location where you would like the citation.
From Word’s Tools menu, select the EndNote submenu and Insert Citation(s) to display the Find & Insert My References dialog. From the EndNote tab, click Insert Citation, and then Insert Citation.
In the text box at the top, enter text to identify the reference you wish to cite. EndNote assumes an "and" between each word, and will search all fields in your records.
Click Insert (Word 2008 and 2011) or press RETURNFind and EndNote compares the text to text in your EndNote references and lists the matching reference(s).If no references match your text, you need to modify your search text and click InsertFind again.
Identify and highlight the appropriate reference(s).
Use the Insert button triangle to display a menu, and select from:
Insert: To insert the citation and format it as defined by the currently selected output style
Insert & Display as: Author (Year)
Insert & Exclude Author
Insert & Exclude Year
Insert in Bibliography Only
Note: You can click Insert (not the triangle) to quickly select the default Insert command.
Citations are inserted directly into your paper in the same font as the surrounding text. Once a citation is inserted, it contains complete reference information in hidden codes.
You can insert citations in an existing manuscript or as you write. Remember to save your document as you work.
To format your citations and generate a bibliography, see Formatting the Bibliography. In most cases, Instant Formatting applies as you insert citations.
