Printing and Previewing References

To print references directly from EndNote, go to the File menu, and then select Print (Ctrl+P) to send a copy to your printer. Or, select Print Preview to format references onscreen. These are quick ways to view your formatted references on paper or onscreen—no special page layout options are provided. Typical uses might include trying out various output styles, printing a list of references to take to the library with you, printing your notes, or generating a complete printout of the references in an EndNote library.

Important Points about Printing

You can print either the selected references or all references showing in the list.

In addition to the selected style, the appearance of the printed references is determined by the following items:

References will be printed in the order specified by the selected output style. If you want to change the sort order, you must modify the output style. If you want to export references in the order in which they are listed in the current Library window, change the output style's sort order setting to Order of appearance.
Each printed page has 1-inch margins, left-justified text, and a header that displays the library name in the upper left corner and the page number in the upper right corner. There are no options to customize the margins, headers or footers of the printouts. Use one of the other options for creating an independent bibliography if you need to modify these aspects of your printout.
The font and size of the printed references are determined by the EndNote display font. Use one of the other options for creating an independent bibliography if you need to modify the font.
Select Page Setup from the File menu to specify other printing options, including the paper size and page orientation. Page setup options vary depending on the printer used.

Printing Instructions

To print a list of references directly from EndNote:

Make sure that all of the references you want to print are either selected or showing in the Reference List.
From the Tools menu, go to the Output Styles submenu and select a style.
(Optional) References will be exported in the order specified by the selected output style. If you want to change the sort order, you must modify the output style:
1. From the Tools menu, select Output Styles, and then Open Style Manager.
2. Select the output style and click Edit.
3. In the left panel of the window, under Bibliography, select Sort Order.
4. Change the current sort order in the right panel. If you want to export references in the order in which they are listed in the current library window, select Order of appearance.
5. Close and save the output style with a new name, then select that style.
From the File menu, select Print (Ctrl+P).

In the print dialog, specify the number of copies and the range of pages to print. By default, EndNote prints only the selected references. To print all of the references showing in the Reference List, change the print range option to All.
Click OK to print the references.
