Microsoft word and Endnote Program

[Guest]

I have an Endnote reference data base. How do I insert an endnote into my
word document? I am using Word 2003. I am using Endnote Version 6. the word
document does not seem to recognize the endnote file.

Do you mean that Word isn't showing an EndNote toolbar or menu or anything?
I can't quite tell from what you say. Regardless, check the EndNote support
FAQ for help:

The programs should work fine together. Assuming that you have an EndNote
toolbar in Word (which indicates you have installed EndNote properly-
reinstalling EndNote may solve the problem if it's not appearing in Word),
and that what you want to insert into your document is a citation or
reference, NOT an endnote (which is a Word feature, a cousin of the
footnote, but located at the end of your document or section), does EndNote
know where your EndNote library (.enl) file is? Is the EndNote library you
want to use open? You check these settings in EndNote preferences, and you
need to remember to save any changes after you make them.

There is a useful EndNote discussion list you can join.

** For Word users not familiar with EndNote, it is a commercially available
Word compatible program that creates a bibliography at the end of a document
as you insert citations in the text- very useful for writing
university/college essays or dissertations or academic papers. And yeah, it
may have been less confusing if they'd called it CitationNote or
BibliographyNote

That is correct. Word is not showing an Endnote toolbar or menu. this is a
new computer with microsoft office 2003 pre-installed. I installed the
Endnote 6 application and my previous Endnote files.

Thanks for your help.
