Only Helvetica for in-text citation and bibliography!?

EndNote EndNote General
1

Hi,

I’m using Endnote X1 with Word 2008 (or at least, trying to), and it seems to only output in Helvetica size 12 even when I set the font in the bibliography layout settings to Cambria or Times New Roman size 9 or any other font. It also completely ignores the 0.5cm hanging indent.

Please help!

Word version 12.1.2

Endnote version X1 (Bld 2377)

OS Leopard 10.5.5

Thanks!

I’ve set the default Normal to Cambria size 10, but I want the bibliography to be size 8. The hanging indent is OK now, I set that up ok in the Bibliography Layout, but it’s still inserting the bibliography text as size 12 Helvetica. Interestingly, if I look at the Style of Bibliography text in Word it says "Font:(Default) Cambria, 10 pt, English (US), Justified, Line spacing: single, Space After: 10 pt, Widow/Orphan control. Also, for the in-text citations it’s putting brackets and ‘et al.’ in the correct Cambria size 10 font, but the name and year in Helvetica size 12… so like: (Brown et al., 2008)

Really weird problem, and it’s driving me insane.

Hi Leanne,

I am experiencing the same problem. All my in-text citations and bibliography are in Helvetica 12, whereas my body text style in Word is Times 11. Going into Endnot/Edit/Output Styles/Edit and manually defining the style for the citations and bibliography (n.b. select the text and right mouse clic) did the job for the bibliography, but the citations are still in Helvetica 12. 

I am working on a Mac with Endnote X1, Word 2008 version 12.1.3

Please advise

PS: infos such as prefix, suffix and specific pages added in the ‘Edit Citation’ come out in Times 11…

Only way I was able to fix it was to create a new library. Luckily I didn’t have many references so it didn’t take long. Not sure why it happened in the first place but I haven’t had the same problem since thankfully.

If you apply font setting to text in the library, usually a result of copying and pasting from other applications into the reference, EndNote will use those font settings.  You would want to remove the font settings from the text in the library by highlighting the text and using Apple+L.
