Referencing is an important part of academic writing, and Endnote is a popular reference management software that can help you to easily create and manage your references. If you’re using Microsoft Word on a Mac, you can add references from Endnote to your document with just a few clicks.
Here’s how to do it: First, you need to make sure that you have the Endnote plug-in installed in Word. Once you have the plug-in installed, you can open your Word document and click on the “References” tab. In the “Citations & Bibliography” group, you’ll see a button that says “Add Citation.” Click on this button and select “Add from Endnote.”
A dialog box will appear, listing all of the references in your Endnote library. Select the references that you want to add to your document and click on the “Insert” button. The references will be added to your document in the correct format, and you can continue writing your paper without having to worry about formatting your references.
Importing EndNote Library into Word
Importing your EndNote library into Word for Mac makes it easy to insert citations and bibliographies into your documents. Follow the steps below to streamline your referencing process:
1. Install the EndNote Plugin

- Select “Add-ins” and click on the “Manage” button.
- In the “Add-ins” dialog box, select “COM Add-ins” from the dropdown menu and click on “Go.”
