Typing Citations into Your Paper
There are many ways to insert citations in your paper. One way is to manually type temporary citations directly into your paper.
The rules described in the following topics govern how EndNote recognizes and interprets temporary (unformatted) citations. Use these rules when typing temporary citations directly into your document.
Note: For new documents or documents that have never been formatted, when Instant Formatting is enabled, it is not triggered when you manually type a reference into a document. You must use the EndNote 2025 tab in Word to either insert another citation or format the citations and a reference list. If a document has been successfully formatted, and you manually type in a temporary citation, that citation will be instantly formatted.
