When Cite While You Write is installed, several EndNote commands appear on an EndNote tab in Word. When you select an EndNote command from the tab, 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 select EndNote online as the active Cite While You Write Application, an EndNote tab appears in Word. The EndNote online tab displays a smaller set of CWYW commands than the EndNote desktop application.
Below are brief descriptions of the Cite While You Write commands that are found from the EndNote tab.
Insert Citation > Insert Citation: Search for EndNote references to select and insert as citations in your Word document. See Finding and Inserting Citations.
Insert Citation > Insert Note: Add custom text citations to your Word document. See Including Notes in the List of References.
Insert Citation > 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.
Insert Citation > Insert Figure: Search for an EndNote reference that contains a figure, 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 Inserting Selected Citations.
Go To EndNote: Bring EndNote to the front of your screen. This command launches EndNote if it is not already running.
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.
Edit Library Reference(s): Select citations in your Word document, then select this command to directly edit the corresponding references in EndNote.
Style: Select an output style from the list to format (or reformat) your paper according to the rules of the selected style. The styles listed are marked as "favorites" in the EndNote style manager.
Update Citations and 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. This command also updates 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.
Convert Citations and Bibliography > Convert to Unformatted Citations: 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. Use Update Citations and Bibliography to format the paper again. See Unformatting Citations.
Convert Citations and Bibliography > Convert to Plain Text: 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.
Convert Citations and Bibliography > Convert Word Citations to EndNote: Convert any Word citations in this document to EndNote Cite While You Write citations.
Configure Bibliography: Click the arrow in the bottom right corner of the Bibliography section to display a tabbed dialog of formatting options. When you click OK to leave the dialog, EndNote formats (or reformats) your paper according to the rules of the selected style. See Formatting the Bibliography.
Note: By default, Instant Formatting is turned on, so your citations and bibliography are automatically formatted as you work.
Export to EndNote > Export Traveling Library: Create an EndNote library from the references used in your paper. See Exporting Word's Traveling Library.
Export to EndNote > Export Word Citations: Create an EndNote library from the Word citations found in the document.
Export to EndNote > Export Word Master List: Create an EndNote library from the Word master list of citations.
