The Copy Formatted Reference Command

Use the Copy Formatted Reference command to quickly create and copy a bibliography that you can paste into a word-processing document. The references are sorted and formatted according to the rules of the selected style.

The font used for the Copy Formatted Reference command is the default EndNote display font, which can be changed in your word-processing document. All text style information (such as bold and italic) is retained if you paste into a program that recognizes RTF (Rich Text Format) or styled text.

To copy formatted references from EndNote and paste them into a word processing document:

Note: If EndNote runs out of memory during this procedure, and you are trying to format 50 or more references, select fewer references to copy at one time, or use the drag-and-drop or Export methods described in this chapter.
