Using EndNote in Word

If you have correctly installed EndNote on your system you should now see an EndNote tab in Word.

Correctly formatting a paper for a specific journal (such as AAPG Bulletin) can be tricky, but can be accomplished with EndNote and Word following these steps.

To add a style for a specific journal:

Step 1: Search for the journal and download an appropriate style file from the EndNote website.

Open the Flemings Shared Library in EndNote. Always have this library open when editing papers in Word.

Step 2: Move the file to the the EndNote style folder, which may be found here in your documents under Documents > EndNote > Styles.

Step 3: The style should now be found in the EndNote Output Style Manager. Edit > Output Styles > Style Manager.

You should now be able to change the style in Word under the EndNote tab. If the style does not show up in the pull down menu, select Select Another Style and scroll through the list until you find the style you just added.
