Tech Tip

@-->--

You can use an EndNote library for multiple Word Documents.

However, refrain using multiple libraries on a single Word Document to avoid linking problems.

@-->--

When you send your word document to other people, we cannot assume that they have or use EndNote software. Therefore, it is a good practice to convert all the citations to plain text before sending it to other people:
Convert Citations and Bibliography > Convert to Plain Text > Save the Document

Inserting citation(s)

There are a couple of ways to insert citations into your text:

Method 1
Find and insert citation(s) to the document (from MS Word)
(in MS Word) Position cursor > Insert Citation > Find Citation > Search > Highlight reference(s) > Insert

Method 2
Find and insert citation(s) to the document (from EndNote)
(in MS Word) Position cursor
(in EndNote) Highlight reference(s) > Click Insert Citation button

Editing Citations

(in MS Word) Highlight citation > Edit & Manage Citation(s)
