Installation Notes

  • We recommend that the EndNote Web website is open in Internet Explorer during the Plug-in installation. If you are using another browser, or plan to install the Plug-in later with Internet Explorer closed, note the EndNote Web URL of the EndNote Web site providing the installer. You may need to verify this information during the installation.
  • If you have EndNote X with the latest update installed, you do not need to install this plug-in to use Cite While You Write. See Preferences.
  • If you are using Cite While You Write for the first time, you will need to configure your login information. See Preferences.
  • If I install the plug-in, do I need to use Internet Explorer? No, you can use Cite While You Write without using Internet Explorer.
