Finding and Inserting Citations in OpenOffice Writer

You can search for EndNote references and insert them without ever leaving OpenOffice Writer.

This is the easiest way to find and insert a citation into an OpenOffice Writer document:

1. Open the EndNote libraries that contain the references you wish to cite.
2. Open the OpenOffice Writer document and position the cursor at the location where you would like the citation.
3. From the EndNote menu, select Find Citation(s) to display the Find Citations dialog.
4. In the Find text box, enter text to identify the reference you wish to cite. EndNote assumes an "and" between each word, and will search all fields in your records.
5. Click Search and EndNote compares the text to text in your EndNote references and lists the matching reference(s).
6. Identify and select your reference(s), and click Insert to insert the reference(s). If no references match your text, you need to modify your search text and click Search again.

Citations are inserted into your paper in the same font as the surrounding text. Once a citation is inserted, it contains reference information in hidden codes.

You can insert citations in an existing manuscript or as you write. Remember to save your document as you work.
