I have not been able to figure out how to create a title page in APA style. Can that be done in Endnotes?
Have you tried the EndNote APA manuscript template? Go to the EndNote toolbar, select Tools > Manuscript Templates then locate and click on the APA 6th MS Word template file which will activate MS Word. The template can be adjusted in MS Word if needed.
Hello thanks for the suggestion. However, I have a Mas computer and the place you suggest I go to uner tools does not exist. Do you have any other suggestions?
I looked up templates in the Endnote Mac Manual (I opened the first one I found: X3 version, probably there in others as well) and found this:
You can start a new Microsoft Word document based on
predefined templates either from within EndNote or directly
from Word. You can also copy and edit one of the predefined
manuscript templates.
From Within EndNote
To create a document based on one of the predefined
manuscript templates:
-
Start EndNote.
-
From the
Tools menu, select Manuscript Templates.
- In the File dialog, browse to the Templates folder found in
the EndNote folder. (EndNote should automatically select
this location.)
- Select and open the template named for a particular editorial
style guide or the publisher to which you intend to submit
your manuscript.

This opens a new document in Microsoft Word that is based
on the template file, and starts a manuscript template wizard
to help you set up your paper.
NOTE:
The first time you launch the manuscript template wizard, you
may receive a notice about macros. Accept macros to continue with the
wizard.
- Enter the information requested by the template wizard. (See
the next section, “Supplying Information to the Template
Wizard” on page 307 for more information.)
As you enter information, the wizard places it in all of the
appropriate places in the document. The windows that
appear, and the information requested, varies depending
upon the publisher.
- To complete the wizard:
?
Click Next to continue providing information. If you do
not know how to respond to an information request,
simply click
Next to continue with the wizard. You can
later enter the appropriate information in the
designated, bracketed fields in Word.
?
On the final template wizard window, click Finish to
close the wizard and start writing!
NOTE:
You can click Finish at any time to bypass the wizard and start
working in the document. You will need to manually enter information
that would have been inserted by the wizard. Clicking
Cancel will stop
the creation of a new document.
The resulting Word document already contains the information
you provided to the wizard. To start entering text into the
document, look for indicators to guide you. See “Writing Your
Paper” on page 308 for tips about writing in the new document.
From Within Word
To use a manuscript template from within Word:
-
Start Microsoft Word.
-
From Word’s
File menu, select Project Gallery.
-
Select the EndNote item to display the supplied templates.
-
Select the template you wish to use, and click
OK.
- The EndNote manuscript template wizard will start, as
described earlier, and will lead you through the process of
setting up your paper.

When you complete the wizard, you are ready to start writing!
To edit a manuscript template:
-
Start Microsoft Word.
-
From Word’s
File menu, select Open.
-
Navigate to EndNote’s Templates folder.
-
Select and
Open the manuscript template you wish to
modify. Template filenames end with the extension .DOT.
- Make changes to the template, and then save a copy of the
file with a new name.
NOTE:
Changes to a manuscript template may disable the manuscript
wizard for that template.
