I’m using a style in X2.02 for Mac, in Mac Word 2004, which generates a bibliography and puts the reference numbers in superscripts. My publisher for this manuscript wants the references numbered within parentheses rather than in superscripts.
I can’t figure out how to make this change within the EndNote style itself. Or do I have to make the change from within Word? I don’t see any option in Word, either, unless I manually highlight each superscript reference number, change it to regular font, and put parentheses around it.
You need to edit your output style. In Endnote go to Edit -> Output Styles -> Edit “whatever your style is” and under Citations click on Templates. In the toolbar you need to click on the box with a P in it (on the left of the superscript button). That should make your numbers appear in parentheses.
“in the toolbar you need to click on the box with a P in it (on the left of the superscript button). That should make your numbers appear in parentheses.”
I was OK until the toolbar part. Under edit styles, my style, I don’t get any toolbar in EndNote, and there is nothing in the Word EndNote toolbar that seems to correspond to what you wrote. I can’t find any “P” box.
Where am I going wrong? Is my version X2.01 for the Mac different from yours?
I don’t have a Mac so I’m not sure, but I’m using the same version of Endnote. When you click on the Template under Citations you may have to then click on the words “(Bibliography Number)” in the right hand box to activate the toolbar. Mine appears greyed out until I do this.
I don’t know how to attach an image of what I see - can anyone else help out?
In the Mac version, I click on the Template under Citations, then click on the words “Bibliography Number” in the right hand box, and instead of a toolbar it gives a long, drop down menu entitled “Insert Field” with about 50 items to click on. There is no check box, and nothing like a “P” or superscript–they are all fields like “singular plural” then Cited Pages, then Author, Year, Title, etc. There is one box at the bottomcalled Multiple Citation Separator in which there is a comma and another small box for Year Format, Use two digit years which is unchecked. In the Mac version, at least, I can’t find a box in a toolbar, or any toolbar, for that matter.
None of the other Template options seem to have it, either.
Again, I may just be missing it. I hope someone here with a Mac can jump in.
I called EndNote Tech support today–they are really good, BTW.
Turns out that after the Citations-Template screen is up, you go to Edit on the EndNote drop down menu, then highlight the words “Bibliography Number”, then in the Edit drop down got to “Font” then remove “Font Formatting”, the unhighlight the words “Bibliography Number” and put parentheses around those words, then save the file. The references then appear in parens when you generate a bibliography.
Not exactly intuitive in the Mac version, for some reason.
Good grief! Not intuitive at all, I’d say. But thanks for posting the solution. More and more of our students are using Macs these days so I guess I’ll have to learn how they work.
