Word Processor Compatibility for Apache OpenOffice Writer

You can  Cite While You Write with Apache OpenOffice Writer 3.x or 4.x. Writer displays Cite While You Write commands on an EndNote menu.

If you use Microsoft Word as your desktop word processor, see How to Cite While You Write with Microsoft Word.

If you use a desktop word processor other than Microsoft Word or OpenOffice.org Writer, or an older version of these word processors, save your document as an RTF file and use Format Paper. See Basic Instructions for Using Format Paper.

If you use Microsoft Word Online, see Cite While You Write in Word Online.

If you use Google Docs, see Cite While You Write in Google Docs.

To create a stand-alone bibliography that is not based on the citations in a paper, see Introduction to Independent Bibliographies.

Note: Only one word processor at a time should be open when inserting citations and formatting documents.
