Cite While You Write (or CWYW) is your super-powered writing secret weapon! The Cite While You Write plug-in allow you to instantly insert references and format citations and bibliographies while you write your manuscript.
The CWYW plug-in automatically downloads when you install the desktop version of EndNote. The next time you open Microsoft Word, there will be a new tab for EndNote.
For EndNote Web users, the CWYW plug-in can be found in your web account under the "Downloads" tab.
Here's a demonstration of the power of Cite While You Write!
Open your Word document. Place your cursor in the text where you want to insert a citation. Click on the EndNote tab in the toolbar to open the menu options, then click Insert Citation.
A box will pop up where you can search for the reference by author or title. Then, select the reference you want and click Insert.
Your citation will be inserted into the text, and a bibliography will be started below.
Reformat your entire paper and bibliography with one click. Choose from available styles.
