Inserting Citations into a Formatted Paper in OpenOffice Writer

Most citations can simply be inserted using the EndNote menu, then the Find Citation(s) command, as described in Finding and Inserting Citations in OpenOffice Writer. However, when adding new references to an existing formatted citation, it is important to insert the new citation adjacent to the existing citation.

To add a new reference to an existing citation, insert the new reference next to (not within) the existing citation, like this:

(Hockney and Ellis, 1996){Argus, 1984 #1}

Adjacent citations are merged during formatting, and the formatted citations are sorted according to the style:

(Argus, 1984; Hockney and Ellis, 1996)

Note: Do not insert a citation into the middle of a formatted citation. Insert it immediately before or after the existing citation, with no space between them.

Another option is to use the Insert button in the Edit Citation dialog:

1. In OpenOffice Writer, select the citation you wish to add a reference to.
2. From the EndNote menu, select Edit Citation(s) to open the Edit Citation dialog.
3. Make sure the citation you want to add a reference to is selected, then click the Insert… button to open the Find Citation(s) dialog.
4. Search for the new citation, select it, and click the Insert button to add it to the original citation. You will be returned to the Edit Citation dialog and will see the new reference selected in the list.
5. Click OK to save your changes.
