The following instructions will help you set your citation style, change citation styles, insert citations, edit citations, and delete citations.
Inserting citations using Cite While You Write in your Word document is simple. The trick is that any edit or manipulation to those citations involves using the plugin rather than editing the document itself. All changes related to your references should be made using the EndNote toolbar (pictured).
Note: Change your citation style at any point within your Word document. Be aware that changing the style changes expectations for the way information is entered into EndNote so edits may need to be made.
Hint: If you want to insert multiple citations at the same time, hold down the ctrl key to select multiple references.
Check common APA and AMA edits for EndNote in the Editing References tab.
