What Should I Do if My Style Is Not Included?
EndNote supplies over 7,500 styles for your convenience; however, because there are so many journals published, the style you need may not be included. This should not be a problem because you can customize a style of your own or edit any of EndNote’s preconfigured styles.
If a style that you need is not included with EndNote, we recommend modifying a style that is similar to what you need. To download more of the predefined styles, see Installing Additional Output Styles.
To find and modify a similar style:
- From the Tools menu, select Output Styles, and then select Open Style Manager.
- In the Style Manager, change the setting in the information panel from Style Info to Style Preview. The preview of the selected style should now be displayed.
- Scroll through the list of available styles to see if you can find one that is similar to what you need.
- Once you have found a similar style, select it, and click the Edit button. The Style window opens.
- From the style's File menu, select Save As, give this copy of the style a new name that corresponds to the name of the journal you want to use it for, and click Save. This will also keep the original style unchanged, in the event that you need to use it later.
- The new Style window remains open for you to edit it as you need. For more details about editing parts of a style, read Modifying Style Templates and Additional Style Formatting Options.
Once the new copy of the style has been saved, it will be added to your style menus.
