Using EndNote with Microsoft Office 2007

You may be aware that IT Services are currently working to install Microsoft Office 2007 across the University network. This will result in some changes to the way EndNote works in Word. The most obvious difference is the way that the toolbar displays.

A workbook is now available from the Library's EndNote webpages which will show you how to use the main features of EndNote in Word 2007.

Entering a company name as an author

If you enter a company name which has a comma in it as an author in EndNote you may find that it does not display properly when you come to format your list of references.

E.g. American Advertising Federation, Inc. will display as American Advertising Federation, I.

In order to get round this problem you simply need to add an extra comma in the EndNote author field, as below:

American Advertising Federation,, Inc.

This double comma will now make the reference display correctly in your list of references.
