CWYW plug-in vs word 2016

Hi everyone!

I am a user of the EndNote Web and recently I have downloaded the Cite While You Write plug-in for Mac. I have the MS Word 2016, but it failed to show the EndNote toolbar. I have reinstalled and checked all the settings, but it just do not appear. I guess there is something wrong with the plug-in - wich I got from the EndNote website - or maybe it’s just not compatible with this version of Word.

I hope someone would help me on this one. 

Thanks a lot!

You could watch their compatibily page here, but as I understand it, Endnote has not yet been updated to work with Word 2016.

I can’t believe that Endnote is so pathetically not upto date… I have just spent the last three hours trying to get Endnote 7 to work with my Office 2016 only to finally find out that the two are not compatible… Thank you very much.

Endnote obviously has absoblutely no value for an individual’s time!! It would have been a simple matter of adding a note saying “Please note that this version of Endnote is not compatible with Micrcosoft Office 2016” under the download tab…!!! Is this that difficult…!!!

I agree…too much time… =(

First of all, sorry my bad english.

I found a way to by-pass Thomson Reuters and install endnote X7 on Word 2016.

  1. Uninstall all office programs

  2. Install office 2013 version (I installed only word)

  3. Install Endnote x7

  4. Install office 2016 and voilà: appears endnote function on word 2016’s ribbon!

It’s annoying, but it worked for me…

Who wants to check, the print screen of word screen is located at: i60.tinypic.com/5plt3p.png

Any help for Office 2016 in Windows 10?

Any help for Office 2016 in Windows 10? The tab in Word exists, but it is only syncing to my online EndNote Library and not to the software installed on my computer. I am unable to cite from the EndNote software to the MS Office word document.

Any help would be welcome.

Anthing new on this front? 

I use Endnote online and would like to have cite-while-you-write on MSWord 2016. However, the Endnote tool does not appear in Word after installation of the CWYW plug-in.

Or search for other scenarios from the Knowledgebase query at the bottom of the support page (http://endnote.com/support))

I have been using EndNote 7.4 with Word 2016 with no problems on my laptop. When I had a new desktop computer built, I cannot get Word to even recognize the existence of EndNote.

Not sure why the two are acting differently, except possibly that my laptop also has 2013 on it because I need it for teaching classes.

I would like to use the beta, but your it says ‘access denied’ when I click your link.  I’m wasting a lot of time trying to get CWYW plugin to work in Word 2016.  Please inform. 

And how do I get permission to download this Beta-Version?

I am registered and I am using the Endnote Web license from university. 

That Beta was Dec 2015.  If you are having problems – http://endnote.com/kb/136020 has the current Mac/Word compatibility info.  http://endnote.com/kb/140624 has the current Mac OS compatibility information.  

1-close  allmicrosoft programs and enndnote 

2-Go to programs and features in the control panel

3-search for the endnote 

4-click on it then click on the ‘repair’ tab

voila it is right in the ribbon again.

I hope this is helpful

Thank you!

I did what you suggested but it did not automatically come up as a ribbon for me.

My steps (after repairing in control panel):

  1. File - Options

  2. Select the Add-ins section

  3. In the Manage part select “Disabled Items” and click Go…

  4. Enable endnote

  5. Repeat 3. But select “COM Add-ins”

  6. Tick endnote and click OK

Voila! EndNote ribbon baby!

Note: Not sure if you can skip 3. and go straight to 5. but either way is quick!
