Copying Formatted References

There may be times when you want to insert a fully formatted reference into the body or footnotes of your paper without having to format an entire document.

To insert a fully formatted reference:

  1. Select a style from the list of styles on the Library paletteMain toolbar.

  2. Select the reference(s) in the Library window.

  3. Select Copy Formatted from EndNote’s Edit menu.

  4. Switch to your word processing document, position the cursor in the text, and select Paste from the Edit menu.

If your word processor supports drag-and-drop, you may also drag the references and drop them on your paper with the Option Ctrl key pressed. This produces the same results as using the Copy Formatted command.

Multiple references are sorted according to the rules of the selected style. Fonts and character styles are transferred if you are pasting into a program that interprets styled text or Rich Text Format (RTF) information on the Clipboard.
