Installing Additional Output Styles

The EndNote team has developed over 4,500 different output styles. Because installing all of these styles can slow performance, a typical EndNote installation includes only the most popular styles. You can install sets of styles by discipline with the EndNote Customizer, or you can download individual styles from the EndNote online site.

Using the EndNote Customizer to Install Additional Output Styles

Before you begin, make sure no applications are running - including virus protection software and Microsoft Word.

To install sets of output styles:

  1. Start the EndNote program.

  2. From the EndNote X7 menu, select Customizer.

  3. On the “Component Selection” dialog, select the components you want to install (or keep installed).



    You can select the check box next to Output Styles to install all of the 3,700+ styles, or you can expand the Output Styles category in order to select groups of output styles by discipline. Any components that are not selected will be removed.

  4. Click Next to continue with the installation.

The styles will be copied to the EndNote Styles folder, which is typically Applications/EndNote X7/Styles. You will need to Quit from the EndNote program and then restart EndNote to read in the added output styles.

Finding Individual Output Styles on the EndNote Online Site

You can use the Style Manager in EndNote to find and download individual output styles.

To download individual output styles:

  1. From the Edit menu in EndNote, select Output Styles and then Open Style Manager.

  2. Click Get More on the Web to start your default browser and go to the appropriate page on the EndNote online site.



    Note: Another way to direct your browser to this web page is to select Web Styles Finder from the Help menu.

  3. Click Accept to accept the Terms of Use.

  4. Browse through an alphabetical listing of the available output styles, and download those files you want to install.

  5. Copy the downloaded files to your Styles folder, which is typically located in the Applications/EndNote X7 folder or to your personal Styles folder.

  6. If EndNote is still open, Exit the program and then restart EndNote to read in the added output styles.

The styles will now be available in EndNote to select for formatting.
