Chapter 5:

Using EndNote While Writing a Paper 

with Microsoft Word

The Cite While You Write (CWYW) process is available only for 

Microsoft Word X, or 2004 (Macintosh) or Word 2000, XP, or 2003 

(Windows). If you use a different word processor, or an older version 

of Word, see the EndNote online Help file to learn how to format 

references and create a bibliography. From the Help menu in the 

EndNote program, choose EndNote Help (Macintosh) or Contents 

(Windows). 

For other word processors, or other versions of Word, read the 

topics under Scanning and Formatting RTF Files.

NOTE: Follow this chapter only if you use Microsoft Word X, or 2004 

(Macintosh) or Word 2000, XP, or 2003 (Windows).

EndNote's Cite While You Write feature inserts EndNote commands 

into Word's Tools menu to give you direct access to your references 

while writing in Microsoft Word. The Cite While You Write commands 

enable EndNote to do bibliographic formatting to the document that is 

currently open in Word.

In this chapter, you will learn how to:

Use a manuscript template to set up your paper.

Insert EndNote bibliographic citations into your paper and create a 

bibliography.

Insert EndNote figure citations into your paper. (This section uses 

the image references that were inserted while following Chapter 3.)

Open the Paleo 

If EndNote is not already running, start it and open the Paleo library as 

Library

shown under  Start EndNote  on page 27. 

EndNote looks for matching references in the currently open libraries. 

While EndNote can automatically start and open your default library 

when needed by Word, opening the library first assures you that you are 

citing references from the appropriate library.
