Setting Cite While You Write Preferences in Microsoft Word

You can access and set Cite While You Write preferences from either EndNote or Word. The same dialog appears, and changes are saved in the same place:

• From EndNote’s Tools menu, go to the Cite While You Write (CWYW) submenu and select CWYW Preferences.
• In Word, on the EndNote 2025 tab, select Preferences.

Cite While You Write preferences include general preferences (see General Preferences in Microsoft Word), the ability to assign keyboard shortcuts to menu commands (see Keyboard Preferences in Microsoft Word), and the ability to control the placement of figures (see Figures and Tables Preferences in Microsoft Word).
