Does endnote x8 work with Word 2016 for Mac? Endnote x8 isn't always compatible with Word 2016. Word had a major upgrade behind the scenes - the older version of endnote works with Word version 15.x and lower.
EndNote’s Cite While You Write (CWYW) lets you look up references, insert them in your document, format your bibliography, and edit your citations to include page numbers or other text, all from within your word processing document. Below are instructions for using Cite While You Write with Microsoft Word. CITE WHILE YOU WRITE IN MICROSOFT WORD ON WINDOWS Installing the Cite While You Write Tools When you install EndNote it will automatically install files into a common program folder, allowing EndNote and Word to communicate and enabling Cite While You Write (CWYW).
In Word for Windows you will see a tab on the ribbon, similar to that shown below. (Note: It is best to close all other programs before installing EndNote, most especially Word and Outlook. When installing Word and EndNote on a new computer, always install Word first to enable EndNote to find it and be able to install the Cite While You Write tools.) Adding Citations to a Document Using Insert Citation Click the magnifying glass in the top half of the Insert Citation button on the EndNote tab in Word to open the Find & Insert My References window. In the Find & Insert My References window that appears, enter your search terms and click the Find button, or press the Enter/Return key, to bring up a set of references that contain those search terms. The terms can be anywhere in the EndNote record, but all the terms must be present in the same record. Next, select (highlight) the reference(s) you want to insert.
When you select a single reference, you will see the details for that reference in the bottom part of the window, but details can be shown for only a single reference. However, you can select multiple references for insertion by holding down the Control key and clicking on them, then selecting your insertion options from the Insert list. Your references will be inserted in the document and instantly formatted. Adding Citations to a Document Using Insert Selected Citations To select the citations you will insert in the document, return to EndNote by clicking the Go to EndNote button. In EndNote, select (highlight) the references you want to insert. You have two choices for how you insert them in the document.
You can insert them in the document from EndNote using the first button of the set shown below, Insert Citation. (Note this is a different command than the Insert Citation button within Word, being the equivalent of the Insert Selected Citation(s) command in Word.) This will insert the references wherever your cursor is located in Word.
If you would like to check if your cursor is in the correct location and then insert the references from within Word, in EndNote click on the third button shown in the set below, Go to Word Processor. If you returned to Word to insert the selected citations, click the bottom part of the Insert Citation button, then select Insert Selected Citation(s) from the drop-down list. Your references will be inserted in the document and instantly formatted.
Selecting the EndNote Style for Your Citations and Bibliography You can select your preferred style from the drop-down style list as shown below, or select the Select Another Style option to see the list of EndNote styles available on your computer.

Select your options, then click the OK button to make your changes.
Changing these options using Word commands would not effect permanent changes; you must use the Configure Bibliography command to permanently change options such as font or line spacing in the bibliography. (Note: it is best not to mark the box to Link in-text citations to references in the bibliography until you have finished editing the document. If you mark this box, whenever you try to select a citation, EndNote will jump to the bibliography.).
