Create 1-Step Bibliographies in  Microsoft Word and Corel WordPerfect

If you use Microsoft Word for Windows or Macintosh or WordPerfect for Windows, you can take advantage of the EndNote Add-in (included in the EndNote program). The Add-in integrates EndNote seamlessly into your word processor so you can accomplish all of your bibliographic tasks from within Word or WordPerfect. Here are the benefits of the Add-in:

• Access EndNote commands from your word processor's Tools menu.
• Create a bibliography in one step.
• Keep track of only one document.
• Revise your document as many times as you need. The Add-in will update the citations and bibliography.

How the Add-in Works. . .

Once the EndNote Add-in is installed, EndNote commands will appear under Word's or WordPerfect's Tools menu. For example, to create a bibliography, simply select Format Bibliography from your word processor's Tools menu.

Inserting Citations. .

When you are writing a paper, you can call up your EndNote library and find the references that you wish to cite. All you need to do is select the reference and choose Insert Citation(s) from the Tools menu. EndNote will insert a temporary marker for that citation.

Formatting Bibliographies in One Step. . .

At any point you can format your paper by selecting a bibliographic style and choosing Format Bibliography from the Tools menu. The Add-in will automatically format the in-text citations and create a bibliography instantly.

Since there is a dynamic link between EndNote and your word processor, the EndNote Add-in has no problem with changes or revisions that you've made to the document. You can select another bibliographic style or add or delete citations. Each time you choose Format Bibliography, the EndNote Add-in will automatically update your citations and bibliography. You won't end up with duplicate documents or have to worry about which document is the original and which is the formatted copy.

The EndNote Add-in can also format citations in your word processor's footnotes and endnotes as regular in-text citations, or as full references. Citations formatted as full references in Word's or WordPerfect's footnotes/endnotes can even use a different style than the bibliography does! You also have the option of including the references in your footnotes/endnotes in the bibliography as well.

The Add-in works with the following word processors. . .

On the Macintosh:

• Microsoft Word 2001
  Microsoft Word 98
  Microsoft Word 6
