Inserting Quotations from PDFs

You can insert quotations from PDFs attached to your EndNote references directly into your Word documents, with the citation to match the quotation automatically inserted following the quotation.

  1. Open the Word document you want to insert the citation in.
  2. Position the cursor where the quotation and citation are to be inserted.
  3. Click the Go to EndNote button on the EndNote CWYW toolbar to go to EndNote.
  4. In EndNote, go to the reference you want to cite, then go the PDF panel in the Reference panel.
  5. Click the Open the reference in a new window (Image of the Open reference in new window button) button. This will open the PDF in the PDF viewer to enable selecting text from the PDF more easily.
  6. Select the text you want to cite in the PDF, then click the Quote and Cite (Image of the Quote and Cite button) button.

The selected text will be immediately inserted in the document inside double quotation marks (") with the citation immediately following and formatted according to the style being used. You may replace the double quotation marks with other characters, such as guillemets («») or single quotation marks, to match the style requirements for your document.
