INSERTING ENDNOTE REFERENCES INTO A WORD DOC USING DESKTOP WORD – "CITE WHILE YOU WRITE"
In your Word Doc, place your cursor at the end of the sentence where you want the citation to go
On the EndNote tab in Word (Microsoft Office v2016 or later), click on "Insert Citation"
The “Find & Insert My References” dialog box will appear. Type a keyword from the reference you want to insert (author name, publication year, etc.). Press the Return key to search.
Find the reference you want from the list of results and click “Insert.” This creates an in-text citation as well as a final bibliography entry.
You can change the output style of the entire document by selecting a different style from the drop-down menu on the EndNote toolbar.
CONVERTING TO PLAIN TEXT
Before sending manuscripts to a colleague or publisher, you might want to break the connection with EndNote and remove the EndNote coding.
On the EndNote tab in Word, go to Tools – Convert to Plain Text.
This will create a new, separate document without EndNote's markup. Your in-text citations and final bibliography will remain, but are no longer linked to EndNote. You can now make manual edits to the reference list if you choose.
It's important to save the original document with the EndNote markup as well, so you that you can edit citations in the future if need be.
