Installing EndNote at home or on a laptop
These instructions refer to installation on your own PC or laptop - they assume WindowsXP. Mac users should consult the information about using EndNote on a Mac.
Using Vista or Office 2007
Neither Vista nor Office 2007 are yet officially supported. Endnote 9 is not fully compatible with either. The IT Help Desk will supply a disk with Endnote X2 which is compatible with Vista and Office 2007. Ensure any earlier versions of Endnote are removed before installation of X2.
Step 1: Install the software
You can borrow the EndNote installation CD-ROM from the IT Help Desk. You'll be asked to show your UC ID. Install the software following the instructions on the Endnote disc.
Step 2: Install the additional Filters, Connection Files and Output Styles
The Library provides some modified and additional Filters, Connection files, and Styles which are useful for this University. What are Styles, Filters and Connections?
Once EndNote is loaded you will need to copy these files to your laptop or PC.
- Download the following compressed folders: filters.zip, connections.zip & styles.zip
- Locate the Filters, Connections and Styles folders on your computer (these folders should have been created during the EndNote installation process). To locate them go to EndNote > Edit > Preferences > Folder Locations:
- Extract the compressed Filters, Connections and Styles into these folders.
Installation problems
If you have problems after installation (e.g. no toolbar in Word) our problems page may help, as may the Endnote site.
