Other CWYW Features


Additional CWYW Features

• Insert NoteUse this command to insert explanatory notes to be numbered as though they were bibliography entries, and then placed in the bibliography.

Other CWYW Features



• Unformat Citation(s)This command will remove the formatted bibliography and citations and replace all citations with plain-text placeholders that EndNote can match to library records to create formatted citations. This command is commonly used when moving documents between word-processing programs.

Other CWYW Features



• Remove Field CodesThis command will create a second copy of the document with all EndNote field coding removed (you can generally recognize field codes such as formatted EndNote citations by their turning grey when you select them in Word). It is used when sending documents to a publisher because the field coding used for EndNote citations can sometimes cause problems for publishers’ page layout programs.

Other CWYW Features



• Export Traveling LibraryEndNote creates a hidden “traveling” library containing only the references used in each paper. This traveling library is part of the coded information contained in each citation. Use this command to export the references (exclude Notes, Abstract, Figure & Caption) in this traveling library to a regular EndNote library.
