Placing Figures and Tables

Figures and tables are formatted either after the paragraph where cited or in a list at the end of the manuscript. This placement is determined by the current output style.

Note: Images from any reference type other than "Chart or Table" are inserted and formatted as Figures. Images from the "Chart or Table" reference type are inserted and formatted as Tables. Both are inserted with the Insert Figure command. Both are formatted with the Update Citations and Bibliography command .

Automatic Placement by the Output Style

The selected output style determines where figures and tables are initially placed in a document and when you Update Citations and Bibliography.

By default, most output styles are set up to place figures and tables immediately after the paragraph in which they are cited. You can edit individual output styles to place figures and tables either after the paragraph in which they are cited or in a list at the end of the document.

For information about editing your output style for figure placement, see Figures and Tables. The Figures panel determines the placement of figures and their captions, the Tables panel determines the placement of tables (images from the Chart or Table reference type) and their captions, and the Separation and Punctuation panel determines image separation and punctuation of labels and captions.

Selecting a Different Output Style

To apply a different output style in Word, on the EndNote tab, select the new style from the Styles drop-down menu.

The output style choice affects both bibliographic citations and figure and table citations.

Cite While You Write Override of the Output Style

As you work in your document, you may adjust the placement of actual figures and tables by cutting the pictures and pasting them elsewhere in the document. Normally, when the figure list is generated again, the output style puts them back in their initial location. You can override the output style, and tell EndNote to leave existing figures and tables where they are currently placed. See Figures and Tables Preferences in Microsoft Word for information about Cite While You Write preferences that affect Figures and Tables.
