RTF files created with most word processors, including: Microsoft 

Word, WordPerfect, OpenOffice, StarOffice, and FrameMaker.

Word

Microsoft Word uses EndNote's Cite While You Write tools. These 

functions put an EndNote submenu of commands on Word's Tools 

menu. They also allow EndNote to format citations and create a 

bibliography for the document that is open in Word. You can format, 

unformat, and reformat a single document without ever exiting your 

word processor.

If a supported version of Microsoft Word is installed on your computer, 

the appropriate Cite While You Write files are installed automatically 

when you run the EndNote installation. These features can be used with 

a shared copy of Word on a network.
