Previewing Styles and Showing Information
Click More Info in the Style Manager to show the information panel. (When you select More Info, the button changes to Less Info, which would hide the panel.) The information panel is used to display more detail about the selected style.
Use the Style Info/Preview button to toggle between these displays:
- Style Information: Details about the style are displayed in the Information panel. These include the creation and modification dates, category, which style guide the style is based on, and any limitations or comments about using the style.
- Style Preview: In the preview section, EndNote shows how a journal, book, and book section would be formatted with the selected style.
Previewing Styles Using Your Own References
EndNote uses built-in examples for the previews in the Style Manager window. If you want to preview a style using your own references:
- In the Style Manager, mark the style as a favorite by clicking in the checkbox next to its name. This adds the style to the Output Styles favorites list.
- From the Tools menu, select Output Styles, and select the style to preview.
- Open a library, select a reference, and then expand the Preview subpanel in the Reference Summary panel. See the preview subpanel section of The Summary Panel.
- Select any reference in your library to have it displayed in the Preview subpanel.
The Preview panel displays only one reference at a time. If you would like to preview a group of references, you can use the Copy Formatted Reference command:
- From the Tools menu, select Output Styles and select a style.
- Select one or more references in your library and select Copy Formatted Reference (Ctrl+K) from the Edit menu.
- Paste (Ctrl+V) the formatted references into a word processor document to see them as they would appear in a bibliography.
Or, use the Print Preview command from the File menu to show how the formatted references would look.
