EndNote

A step by step guide on how to use EndNote

Adding figures, charts and tables

The Figure, Equation, and Chart or Table reference types should be used if you are going to use the Cite While You Write feature and Microsoft Word to insert and manage images in your documents. This section shows how to add a new Figure reference which will be used later in the section on Cite While you Write (CWYW).

  • From the References menu, select New Reference or press Ctrl+N
  • From the Reference Type list, select Figure or Chart or Table if it’s an excel spreadsheet, as your reference type
  • Add a title for your figure in the Title field
  • The Figure field can be used to insert a graphic file or an object (a file attachment) into a reference. The copy of the image or the object is saved in the .Data folder of the library. Each reference can accommodate only one graphic or object file. To insert an image or object into a reference, from the References menu, select Figure and then Attach Figure.
  • Another box will appear allowing you to locate the required image file, then click OK
  • Use the Caption field under the Figure field, to write a short description for your file which will appear with the image in a word processing document using Cite While You Write feature.
