How to export references from Endnote to an Excel spreadsheet?

Hi. To export references from Endnote to an Excel spreadsheet properly, you need to change the output style to “Tab Delimited”. And if the information is not displayed properly when pasted to an Excel spreadsheet, you may need to remove carriage returns before copying the information from Endnote.

You may find steps for exporting references from Endnote to an Excel spreadsheet at:
