- In Word, highlight the citation you want to delete.
- From the EndNote tab, click the Edit & Manage Citation(s) button. In the Edit & Manage Citations dialog, ensure that the citation you want to delete is highlighted. If the citation is part of a multiple citation, make sure you select just the citation you want to delete.
- From the Edit Reference menu, click Remove Citation.
- Click OK.
