Functions in Word
Extra menu options have been added to Word for the best possible collaboration with EndNote. All new options in Word are reflected in the menus. Some settings can be changed in Word while others must be made in EndNote.
Below are briefly presented the various tool buttons. The features are divided into three categories; Citations, Bibliography and Tools.
Note that there are some slight differences between Windows and Mac.
We present the Windows version with comments where the Mac version is different.
