Word Processor Compatibility for Format Paper

You can create formatted citations and bibliographies for your papers without using Cite While You Write. Use Format Paper to cite references and create bibliographies for documents that can be saved as Rich Text Format (RTF) (see Basic Instructions for Using Format Paper). Word processors that can create RTF documents, include:

• Microsoft Word
• OpenOffice Writer
• LibreOffice Writer
• Scrivener®
• WordPerfect®
• And almost any other application that can save as RTF (Rich Text Format)

Note: EndNote uses Unicode to appropriately display diacritics and other extended characters. If these characters do not display correctly when you format EndNote citations and references in your document, it may be because your word processor lacks Unicode support. Please refer to your word processor's documentation.
