Figures

EndNote extends the organization of reference information by including the ability to embed files in an EndNote library using the Figure field and insert them in Microsoft Word documents. This feature is most useful for graphic files or tables. You can insert a graphic, figure, or file into the Figure field of any EndNote reference. See Inserting Graphics and Files.

Note: While the Figure and Caption fields are included by default for all reference types, you can remove them at any time if you do not intend to use them. See Adding, Changing, and Hiding Reference Types.

Note: While it is possible to insert almost any file in the Figure field, it is better to reserve this field for graphics you want to insert into Microsoft Word. The Figure field can only hold one file attachment while the File Attachments field can hold up to 45 file attachments, of almost any kind.

Once you have a figure in your EndNote reference, Cite While You Write allows you to insert the figure and its caption into a Microsoft Word document. See Finding and Inserting Figures and Tables for more information about using images with Cite While You Write.
