- How do I get Cite While Your Write (CWYW)?
- Need to have Microsoft Word installed on your computer before you install EndNote.
- EndNote X6 is compatible with Microsoft Word 2008 and 2011.
- When you install EndNote on your computer, an EndNote submenu is automatically added to the Tools menu in Microsoft Word.
- Inserting Citations
- Open the EndNote library with the references that you wish to cite. Prior to inserting citations, we recommend that you find duplicate references within your EndNote library. To find duplicate references:
- In the Groups panel in the left column, click on All References to display all the references in your library.
- From the menu bar, select References > Find Duplicates.
- If you have duplicate references in your library, the Find Duplicates dialog box will appear. For each set of duplicates, you have the following options:
- Click Keep This Record to save the preferred reference and discard the other in the trash.
- Click Skip to leave both references in the library. The references will be placed in a temporary Duplicate References group for later review.
