"Insert selected citation(s)" with a page number

EndNote EndNote How To
1

Hi,

I would like to add a page number when I “insert a selected citation” from endnote to my word file if I have to.

Currently, I’m inserting the citation from endnote, “update the citiation and bibliography” in word (mac version), which takes forever because of file size and number of citations. Then, I right click on the citation, “edit citation”, “more” (pop-up window takes forever because of file size…), type in the page number, hit “Ok”, and the bibliography/citation update again (which takes forever because …).

Bottom line: Adding one citation with a page number: 5 minutes.

That MUSTN’T be the way. Please help or in the embarassingly worst case scenario I couldn’t believe: Please change immediately. I cannot be the only one…

Thanks so much!

Well, it sounds first like something might be competing with Endnote for resources, because it never takes me long even in a thesis with many citations, figures, tables, etc.  

But if you are willing to forgo the bells and whistles,  do what I do. Turn OFF instant formatting (on the endnote ribbon) and add your cited pages manually.  

basically – add the @ and pages  and they will be formatted (assuming you have the cited pages field included correctly in the citation template) when you update the citations and bibliography.

you still add the citation from endnote, but modify without having to “edit citation” rigmarole.
