Copying Formatted References

There may be times when you want to insert a fully formatted reference into the body or footnotes of your paper without having to format an entire document.

To insert a fully formatted reference:

Select Tools > Output Styles and select the style you want from the list. If you do not see the style you want, select Open Style Manager and mark the style you want added to the list. The Style Manager will show all styles installed on your computer. If you do not see the style you want in the Style Manager, you can install more styles, see Installing Additional Output Styles.
Select the reference(s) to copy.
Select Copy Formatted Reference (⌘+K) from EndNote’s References menu.
Switch to your word processing document, position the cursor in the text, and select Paste (⌘+V) from the Edit menu.

If your word processor supports drag-and-drop, you may also drag the references and drop them on your paper with the Option key pressed. This produces the same results as using the Copy Formatted Reference command.

Multiple references are sorted according to the rules of the selected style. Fonts and character styles are transferred if you are pasting into a program that interprets styled text or Rich Text Format (RTF) information on the Clipboard.
