I Don't See the Correct EndNote Tab in Word

If you see an EndNote tab with a more limited set of commands instead of an Endote 2025 tab in Microsoft Word, your Application preference has been changed to use an EndNote online library instead of your desktop library.

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.

  • The EndNote 2025 tab is for desktop version of the EndNote application.
  • The EndNote tab is for 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: To use the EndNote online option, you must have created an EndNote account.
