Adding Styles to the Output Styles Menu
The bibliographic style selected determines how EndNote formats the citations in your paper and the references in the bibliography. The style defines the text styles, punctuation, and sorting required for the citations and bibliography, as well as which fields are included in the bibliography.
You can use the Styles drop-down menu on the EndNote tab to select a different style and reformat your document at any point.
For a typical installation, EndNote initially installs only the most popular output styles, although more styles are available. See Installing Additional Output Styles.
To mark an installed output style as a favorite, so it will appear in the Styles menu:
- In EndNote, go to the Tools menu, select Output Styles, and then select Open Style Manager.
- Find the style that you need.
- Select a style by typing its name or scroll through the list to find the style you need.
- Click on the column headings to sort the styles by either name or category. Click a second time to reverse the sort order.
- Use the Find by list to find entire categories of styles.
The Style Info/Preview button can toggle between Style Info or Style Preview to display information about a style or a preview of how the selected style formats EndNote’s references. Use the More Info/Less Info toggle button to display or hide this dialog.
- Mark the box by a style to select it as one of your favorites. The Mark All button selects all styles. The Unmark All clears all selections.
- Close the Style Manager by selecting Close Style Manager from the File menu in the Style Manager.
Styles marked as favorites appear in the Styles menu, wherever it appears.
You can modify any style to meet your specifications. You can also create new styles if necessary. See Modifying Style Templates for more information.
