Application Preferences in Microsoft Word

Use the Application tab in the Word Cite While You Write preferences to indicate which version of EndNote to use when you use Cite While You Write.

  • EndNote 2025 is your desktop version of the EndNote application.
  • EndNote is the online version of EndNote.

To select the appropriate application:

  1. On the EndNote or EndNote 2025 tab in Word, select Preferences.
  2. Click the Application tab.
  3. Select the appropriate application: EndNote (desktop) or EndNote online.

The system adds an EndNote 2025 tab to Word's Tabs when you select the EndNote menu option; the system adds an EndNote tab when you select the EndNote online menu option.

Note: Even though selecting EndNote online will show the EndNote tab, to actually use the EndNote online option, you must have created an EndNote online account.
