Installing Additional Output Styles

The EndNote team has developed over 7,500 different output stylestyles. Because installing all of these styles can slow performance, a typical EndNote installation includes only the most popular styles. You can install sets of styles by discipline with the EndNote installer or you can download individual styles from the EndNote site.

Using the EndNote Installer to Install Additional Output Styles

First, make sure EndNote is closed and not running; Microsoft Word and Microsoft Outlook should also be closed. You can run the EndNote installation program again, select the option to Modify the installation, and then select sets of output styles to install.

You can also use the Windows Apps & Features setting to add new styles.

To install sets of output styles:

  1. Log in to the machine with administrative rights or as a user with program installation privileges.
  2. From the Windows Start menu, select Settings and then Apps. This should default to the Apps & Features setting.
  3. In Apps & Features, scroll down to the EndNote application and select it.
  4. Click the Modify button. The EndNote Application Maintenance window should appear, with Modify selected.
  5. With Modify selected, click the Next button.
  6. In the Select Features window, expand the Additional Styles list.
  7. Open the drop-down menu for the set of styles you want to add and select Will be installed on local hard drive. Repeat this for each set of styles you want to install.
  8. Click the Next button, and click the Next button again.
  9. When the installation is done, click the Finish button.

The styles will be copied to the EndNote Styles folder, which is typically \\Program Files (x86)\EndNote 2025\Styles, and the new files will be available for use the next time you start EndNote.

Finding Individual Styles on the EndNote Styles Page

You can use the Style Manager in EndNote to find and download individual output styles.

To download individual output styles:

  1. From the Tools menu in EndNote, select Output Styles and then Open Style Manager.
  2. Click Get More on the Web to start your default browser and go to the appropriate page on the EndNote site.

Note: Another way to direct your browser to this web page is to select EndNote Output Styles from the Help menu.

  1. Use the Style Finder to search for a style, or browse through an alphabetical listing of the available output styles. Download those files you want to install.
  2. Copy the downloaded files to your Styles folder, which is typically located at \\Program Files (x86)\EndNote 2025\Styles, or to your personal Styles folder (see Folder Locations Preferences).
  3. If EndNote is still open, exit the program and then restart EndNote to update the output styles list.

The styles will now be available in EndNote to select for formatting.
