Cite While You Write
Cite While You Write allows users to insert footnotes, endnotes, and bibliographic references into their papers as they write. This feature is only compatible with Microsoft Word; if you are using another program to write your thesis or dissertation, you will need to put citations in by hand.
The Cite While You Write feature in Endnote Web requires that users install a plug-in for Internet Explorer. Before installing, check the program's system requirements here . If your computer does not meet these requirements, the Cite While You Write feature will not function. It may also cause conflicts with other programs on your computer.
If your computer meets the system requirements, you may install the Cite While You Write feature by following these instructions for Windows users:

- Making sure you are logged into the EndNote Web site in a Web browser, click the Download Installers link at the bottom of any page.
