How do I edit output styles in EndNote desktop?
Output styles determine how your citations and bibliography will be displayed in a Microsoft Word document.
There are over 7,000 output styles available for EndNote; you can also edit styles or create new styles yourself using the Style Manager function.
As creating new styles can be time-consuming, it is usually advisable to find a style that closely matches the one you need and make any changes to it accordingly.
To edit styles:
- In EndNote, select 'Tools' > 'Output Styles' > 'Open Style Manager…'
- Select a style to edit (eg 'Harvard') by highlighting it in the list of styles and clicking 'Edit'.
The Editing template screen will be displayed. This is grouped into four sections – Citations, Bibliography, Footnotes and Figures & Tables – along with some general options for handling anonymous works, page numbering, abbreviated journal titles and document sections.
The most common request at The University of Manchester is to edit the Harvard style so that authors’ names display in normal case rather than UPPER CASE.
- Select 'Tools' > 'Output Styles' > 'Open Style Manager…'.
- Choose 'Harvard' from the list of styles in the Style Manager and click the 'Edit' button.
- In the Bibliography section, select ‘Author Name’.
- At the Capitalization: prompt, change from ‘All Uppercase’ to ‘Normal’.
- Select 'File' > 'Save As' and rename the style to save it as a new style eg 'Harvard New.ens'
