EndNote has a number of features to assist when working with long documents in Microsoft Word.
When working with long documents, it is recommended that you use unformatted citations in Microsoft Word. Formatted citations take a longer time to process as EndNote will update all citations in the document each time a reference is added. Unformatted citations also provide you with more flexibility to use the cut and paste options in Word without the document becoming corrupted.
To unformat your citations:
The in-text citations will then display as {Author, year #record number} and the bibliography/reference list will disappear from the document.
To reformat your citations in your chosen referencing style and see your reference list again, click on Update Citations and Bibliography in the CWYW toolbar.
To create a separate bibliography at the end of each section (chapter) of your Word document:
You will now need to break your document into sections. To do this:
To create a bibliography for each section and also a complete bibliography at the end of the document, follow the instructions above but in Step 3, select Create a bibliography for each section and a complete bibliography at the end of the document.
To create a stand alone bibliography (not linked to EndNote):
As you insert formatted EndNote citations into a Word document, invisible field codes are included which contain the information necessary to form the in-text citations and reference list entry. This information is referred to as the Traveling Library. If you open a Word document which includes EndNote references that are not available in your EndNote library, the Traveling Library is used to format the citations in the document. It is possible to add the Traveling Library references to your EndNote library.
Note:
Using the Track Changes function in your Word document while EndNote formatting is active can cause errors or crash your document.
To safely use Track Changes:
You can automatically create links between in-text citations and their corresponding reference list entries in your Word document.
Note: If save your document as a PDF the links will remain. If you convert your Word document to plain text, the links will be removed.
