Once you have created a footnote or an endnote in your word processing document, you can cite references in the footnotes or endnotes just like you cite them in the body of the text.
To cite references in footnotes:
In your EndNote library, select the reference(s) that you would like to cite and select Copy from the Edit menu.
Create the footnote or endnote using the appropriate command in your word processor. EndNote does not actually create the footnote or endnote in the document, but it is used to insert and format the citations in the notes.
Position the cursor in the footnote or endnote in your paper where you would like the citation(s) to appear and select Paste from the Edit menu.
Note: You can edit a full reference footnote citation to exclude author name, year, or author/year. Note that the Author(Year) option does not apply to footnotes.
The EndNote style that is selected when you select Configure Bibliography determines how the citations in the footnotes or endnotes will be formatted. EndNote can format these citations as brief in-text citations or like the complete references in the bibliography. It can also create a special format specific to footnotes or endnotes, including options like " Ibid." and other variations of shortened references when a citation appears more than once in the footnotes or endnotes.
If you have cited references in the footnotes of your document, the formatted paper that EndNote creates may display the footnote regions incorrectly (for example, by displaying superimposed text).
To correct this, open the formatted document and select Page Setup from the File menu. On the Page Setup dialog, click OK. This makes the footnote regions reformat themselves properly, so footnote regions will display correctly.
EndNote cannot scan citations in the footnotes of Nisus documents—citations in footnotes are ignored.
To cite full references in the footnotes of Nisus documents, you can use the Copy Formatted command (or hold down the Option key when using drag-and-drop) to insert a complete reference (as opposed to an in-text citation) in a footnote.
With your document open, create a footnote using the appropriate Nisus command.
Switch to EndNote and select the desired reference(s).
Select a style from the Output Styles submenu of the Edit menu and then select Copy Formatted from the Edit menu.
Return to your word processor, put the cursor in the footnote, and select Paste (
+V) from the Nisus Edit menu. This pastes the formatted reference into the footnote.
