  • Select the first chapter of your dissertation and click Open
  • Choose Scan Next and open each of the remaining chapters in order
  • Select the output style that you want to use
  • Click Format

EndNote will make a formatted copy of each document and put a complete bibliography at the end of the last chapter.

Accessing EndNote from home

Please remember that the University licence for EndNote does NOT allow you to download a copy of the software to your own laptop or PC. To access EndNote from your own PC you need to use the Remote Desktop Connection. Instructions for this can be found on the Library's EndNote webpages

If you wish to purchase an individual student licence to install EndNote on your own PC you can do so from the Adept Scientific website. Login with your Athens username and password and you will be able to purchase at discounted rates, starting from about £64.00.

Word toolbar in the Remote Desktop Connection

If you are using the Remote Desktop Connection to access EndNote from home there will be no option to Configure EndNote from the Start > Programs menu (as shown in the EndNote workbook).
Instead, the EndNote toolbar should automatically appear when you open Word. If this does not happen, click on View > Toolbars > EndNoteX1 to make the toolbar visible.
