Fonts and Text in Output Styles

By default, text entered into a Style window appears in EndNote’s Plain Font, Plain Size, and Plain Style settings, which allow the bibliography that EndNote creates to adopt to your word processor's Normal style settings in your paper. For example, if you type your paper in 10-point Times New Roman font by manually selecting the text and setting it to 10-point Times New Roman font, but the Normal style in your document is set to use 14-point Arial font, EndNote would use the 14-point Arial font for the paper’s bibliography.

You can use the Edit menu or the Style toolbar to apply any font, size, or text style to your Style templates to override the default setting for specific fields that might require it, but it is generally better to use the Plain settings. (Note that only the standard Windows fonts are available.)

All text attributes entered into a style template will carry over into the bibliography that EndNote creates. You can use this feature, for example, to italicize titles or make the volume numbers bold. Any font or text style changes entered in an EndNote Reference window will carry through the bibliography as well. For example, any italicized terms in your references will still appear italicized in your bibliography, regardless of the text attributes that the EndNote bibliographic style applies.

To Apply Bold, Italic, or Underline Styles to Fields or Text

Select the field or text to be formatted.
Choose the formatting option from the toolbar in the Style window, or select the option from the Font submenu in the style's Edit menu..
Use the following shortcuts.

Ctrl+B for bold
Ctrl+I for italic
Ctrl+U for underline
Ctrl+Shift++ (the last + is the plus sign, so this means to hold down the Ctrl key, the Shift key, and the + key together) for superscript
Ctrl+Shift+‒ (the ‒ is the minus sign, so this means to hold down the Ctrl key, the Shift key, and the ‒ key together) for subscript

To Change the Font for Selected Text

Some styles require a different font to be used for some fields, usually the Title field. In these cases, the style must include a font change for just those fields that require it. To change the font for a specific field:

Select the field to be formatted.
From the style's Edit menu, select the font you need from the Font drop-down list. The default will show as Plain Font.

Note: If text is italicized in the library, then the field is italicized by the style, that text will still appear in italics in the formatted references. EndNote cannot reverse the italics in a field to plain text when the field is italicized in the style.
