Installing Additional Output Styles

The EndNote team has developed over 7,500 different output stylestyles. Because installing all of these styles can slow performance, a typical EndNote installation includes only the most popular styles. You can install sets of styles by discipline with the EndNote Customizer, or you can download individual styles from the EndNote online site.

Using the EndNote Customizer to Install Additional Output Styles

Before you begin, make sure no applications are running—including virus protection software, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Outlook.

To install sets of output styles:

  1. Start the EndNote program.
  2. From the EndNote 2025 menu, select Customizer.
  3. On the Select Components dialog, select the components you want to install (or keep installed).
    You can select the checkbox next to Output Styles to install all of the 7,500+ styles, or you can expand the Output Styles category in order to select groups of output styles by discipline. Any previously selected components that are deselected will be removed.
  4. Click Next to continue with the installation.
  5. When the installation finishes, click Done.

The styles will be copied to the EndNote Styles folder, which is typically //Applications/EndNote 2025/Styles. You will need to Quit from the EndNote program and then restart EndNote to update the output styles list.

Finding Individual Output Styles on the EndNote Online Site

You can use the Style Manager in EndNote to find and download individual output styles.

To download individual output styles:

  1. From the Tools menu in EndNote, select Output Styles and then Open Style Manager.
  2. Click Get More on the Web to start your default browser and go to the appropriate page on the EndNote site.

Note: Another way to direct your browser to this web page is to select EndNote Output Styles from the Help menu.

  1. Use the Style Finder to search for a style, or browse through an alphabetical listing of the available output styles. Download those files you want to install.
  2. Copy the downloaded files to your Styles folder, which is typically located in the //Applications/EndNote 2025/Styles folder or to your personal Styles folder (see Folder Locations Preferences).
  3. If EndNote is still open, Quit the program and then restart EndNote to update the output styles list.

The styles will now be available in EndNote to select for formatting.
