Hi-- is there any way to make In-text citations hyperlinks?
This would be really useful both in a word processor and in exported content.
For example, if I generate a PDF from Microsoft Word the Cross-references in the TOC are clickable: it jumps me to the relevant chapter. The List of Figures is clickable. In fact, everything cross-linked is clickable EXCEPT endnote citations. Hate to say it but Word 2007 biblio references (the competition) are clickable, too.
Additionally, if hyperlinks were supported and I export to HTML then I could have a web page with clickable hotlinks, but not Endnote citations.
This seems like a natural thing for a bibliographical software to support.
We’re up to version 12 of Endnote so maybe it’s it inthere and I haven’t figured it out.
Hi, your post is from a while ago. I wonder if you found a solution to your problem, since I also want to make the linked pdf’s clickable in the reference list. I did not succeed either, yet.
Hiya - I’m also wondering if you’ve gotten an answer to this yet. I contacted Thomson ResearchSoft Customer Techincal support with the same question, but I haven’t heard back from them. If EndNote doesn’t have this capability, does anyone know of a reference managment program that does?

What I ended up doing previously to get an HTML document with hyperlinks is to export with Unformatted Citations then I used a batch search/replace function (actually Regular Expressions) in Dreamweaver to replace the {Author, Year #1000} with (<a href=“AuthorYear.html”>Author, Year</a>) for a similar effect. It gets a little messy when you have multiple pubs in one Author/Year (it required manual editing).
I think Endnote is really missing the boat with this and many are flocking to open source alternatives like Zotero.

it’s my 945 pg dissertation converted into a “Book” in the Drupal web management system with the Biblio (Drupal) Module for citation management. I ended up using unique IDs (Endnote ref #) as the URL for the in-text hyperlink to point to.
The process of converting the document is written up here
