Many predefined Microsoft Word manuscript templates are supplied with EndNote to ease electronic submissions to publishers. We provide them as guides to make your writing process easier, but they are not required in order to use Cite While You Write. Plus, you can use a manuscript template even when you do not plan to use Cite While You Write on that particular document.
When you use one of these templates to start your paper, many formatting settings are already configured for your target publication, such as proper margins, headings, pagination, line spacing, title page, abstract page, graphics placement, and font type and size. As with bibliographic formats, there are hundreds of variations between publishers.
