These instructions refer to installation of EndNote X7 on your own PC or laptop – they assume WindowsXP. Mac users should consult the information about using EndNote on a Mac. Ensure any earlier versions of EndNote are removed before installation of X7.
EndNote X7 is compatible with Office 2013 and earlier. See the EndNote site for up-to-date details on compatibilities.
Download the software from the links on the EndNote Software page.
If by any chance you cannot download the software, you can borrow the EndNote installation CD-ROM from the ICT Service Desk. You'll be asked to show your UC ID.
Before you install the software, you must extract the files – your installation will not work otherwise. To do this, follow the extract instructions on the EndNote Software page referred to above. |
For Windows installations the file to run is UC_EndnoteX7.exe.
The Library provides some modified and additional Filters, Connection files, and Styles which are useful for this University. What are Styles, Filters and Connections? An example of a connector you may want is one that allows direct, although limited, searching of the UC Library Catalogue (this connector is called U Canterbury.enz).
Once EndNote is loaded you will need to copy these files to your laptop or PC.
If you have problems after installation (e.g. no toolbar in Word) our problems page may help, as may the EndNote site.
