How to import references from a traveling library in a Word document to an EndNote library?

December 12, 2011 — Yingting

Question: If someone sends me a Word document that they created using Endnote, can I import the references they used in the document without them sending me their library?

Answer: Yes, you can use EndNote’s “Export Traveling Library’ feature to import the references from the Word document under the condition that the field codes have not been removed from that document. To copy the references into your EndNote Library, you need to:

• Have the Word document open and go to the EndNote tab (in Word 2007 +).
• In the most right column, click on “Export to EndNote”.
• Choose “Export Traveling Library”. Follow the directions, you will be guided to add those references into either an existing EndNote library (by selecting a library from the drop-down list or using Browse to locate the library) or a new EndNote library. 

Note: It is recommended that you send references to a new EndNote library, so you can review the records before adding them to an existing library. Also you need to be aware that the traveling library does not include Notes, Abstracts, or Figures.

How to Reinstall EndNote CWYW Tools in Word?

December 5, 2011   –Yingting           

Question: I meant to disable EndNote CWYW in a document, but instead I removed the EndNote CWYW add-in tools from my computer accidentally. How can I reinstall the add-in tools?

Answer: You have two ways to get the tools back. The easier way is run the “Repair” function by following the steps below:

• Go to My Computer -> C drive -> Program Files.
• Click on “Add or remove programs”.
• Click on EndNote X5 or other versions of EndNote.
• Click on “Change”. Then the “EndNote X5 Setup” window pops up.
• Clicking in the radio button next to “Repair”, you’ll make your computer automatically reinstall the missing or corrupt files. Follow the directions to complete the repair process. Click “Finish” when it is completed.
• Close all MS Office applications and restart Word. The EndNote Tab should reappear.

Another way is just to uninstall EndNote and then reinstall the whole program. The missing add-in tools will be installed along with the whole program. This method is more tedious and not recommended.

How Can I Disable EndNote in a Document in Word 2007?

December 3, 2011  – Yingting          

Question: I would like to manually edit the document. But each time I edit it, the document returns to its former form. How can I disable Endnote in a document?

Answer: To disable EndNote X5 (or rather CWYW) in your document in Word 2007, please follow the steps below:

• In Word, click on the EndNote X5 tab.
• In the Tools box, click on “Preferences” located right below “Export to EndNote”. The “EndNote X5 Cite While You Write Preferences” window pops up.
• In the pop-up window, click on the 2nd tab named “Keyboard”.
• Scroll down until you see “Remove Field Codes”.
• Click on the Remove button to remove the field codes.

Thus your document is no longer associatied with EndNote. You can manually edit your document. Many publishers require the authors to remove the field codes when they submit the manuscripts.

APA 6th Ed. Style – Journal Article Citing Error

In EndNote X5 an error has been discovered in the APA 6^th edition publication style.  The error may cause some journal articles to be cited incorrectly in a bibliography.  The problem is the template used to cite journal articles includes the “Type of Article” field.  If there is an entry in the “Type of Article” field in a reference’s EndNote record the information in that field will be included in the citation to the journal article in the bibliography.  This is NOT the correct APA format for a journal article citation.  

To correct this problem download and install a revised copy of the APA 6^th publication style available on the University Libraries EndNote web page, or edit the APA 6^th Publication style from within EndNote.  Instructions on how to do both are available in the EndNote web page’s News and Help section.
