- Interesting – I never noticed this before but you’re right that the EndNote APA 6th output style erroneously inserts a space between the word “doi:” and the DOI number. To remove the space will require modifying the EndNote bibliography templates*. So for example, the last segment of the Journal Article bibliography template should be changed from this: Pages|.
doi:•DOI
to this: Pages.|•doi:DOI
Note that the 3 symbols (|, •, `) represent the commands: Forced Separation, Link Adjacent Text, and the accent for marking letters/words that are meant to be displayed (e.g., “doi:”). Review the templates and modify as needed (refer to attached image and modified APA 6th output style for a point of reference).
Note that changes to the output style will be saved as a new file: APA 6th Copy. So adjust both EndNote and MS Word to use the new output style.

The EndNote APA 6th output style appears to be correctly formatted to display “Retrieved from”. Are you using the correct reference type (e.g., Electronic Article, Electronic Book, Electronic Book Section, Online Database, Online Multimedia, Web Page)? Also is the URL addressed being stored in the EndNote record’s URL field?
-
If you’re manually entering your references then you can self-correct the capitalization as you type. If you wish to change capitalization after the data was entered or downloaded from online databases you could use EndNote’s “Find and Replace” feature [Go to the toolbar, select Edit > Find and Replace]. You could also use EndNote’s “Change Case” feature to build lists of words with specified case settings [Go to the toolbar, select Edit > Preferences].
