Spell checking references in EndNote

There is a problem with the spell check in the new version of EndNote, which means that the dicitonary sometimes appears to be empty. This can be fixed by following the steps below:
  1. Open a reference in EndNote and click on the spell check icon (or go to Tools > Spell Check).
  2. Click on Options... at the bottom of the dialog box.
  3. Under Main Dictionary language select British English.
  4. Click OK.

The spell check should now work correctly.

Spell checking references in EndNote

Although you can't spell check your entire EndNote library in one go, you can spell check individual records:
  1. Double-click on a record to open it.
  2. Click on the spell check icon in the toolbar.

Note: the spell check does not work for any of the author or editor fields.
