Working with Long documents
If you are writing a long document e.g. a book or thesis, create a separate Word document for each chapter. In each chapter, insert your citations to link them to references in your EndNote library. You should keep the chapters separate until the latest moment before merging them to create a document with a single bibliography.
- Open each chapter, go to the EndNote tab, click Convert Citations and Bibliography, select Convert to Unformat Citations. This will unformat all the citations in the document. The bibliography at the end will disappear and the in-text citations will look like this (Author Date example): {Pratt, 1995 #10} which is a place-holder for your reference which can be reformatted at any time.
- Create a new blank word document.
- Highlight all the text in the chapter (ctrl-A), copy (ctrl-C) and paste into the new document .
- Continue copying and pasting each chapter at the end of the previous document, until all chapters are in one document
- Reformat the new document - go to the EndNote tap, click on Update Citations and Bibliography. EndNote will format all the citations from the combined document and create a single bibliography.
- Save your document!
