Manually Installing Support for Word 2008 or 2011

If you install Microsoft Word 2008 or 2011 after installing EndNote or if you have a customized startup folder for Word, you should either reinstall EndNote or use the Customizer to copy just the Cite While You Write files.

However, there may be a case where you need to install Cite While You Write support manually.

Determining the Microsoft Word Startup Folder

Word normally uses a default startup folder. For example:

Microsoft Office 2008/Office/Startup/Word

Microsoft Office 2011/Office/Startup/Word

However, Word’s startup folder location could have been changed. If you are unsure which startup location is being used, or to change the startup location, use these instructions.

To determine the path of Word’s Startup Folder:

  1. Start Microsoft Word.

  2. From the Word menu, select Preferences.

  3. Select the File Locations item and look at the “Startup” line to see the path for the designated startup folder.

  4. If the Startup line is blank, or if you would like to change the startup folder location, select the Startup line, click Modify, select the desired folder, and save your changes. We recommend using the default folder location indicated above.

  5. Quit from Word. This step is important!
