Step 1: Create Your Account
When registering for your personal account:
- You may use any email address that you wish for your username.
- Do not use your DMU password (for security reasons - it's not a good idea to give out the password you use to log into D2L)
- Do not use Facebook or LinkedIn to create your account. This will create problems.

Step 2: Install Plug-In
There is a plug-in you should install to make your citation gathering, writing, and citing references a lot more efficient. This utility will enable you to incorporate the citations into your Word document.
When you have created an account and downloaded the Cite While You Write plug-in to help with your productivity, the next step is to gather your citations. To learn more about adding citations to your EndNote library, see the "Add Citations" section of this guide.

Write While You Cite Not displaying in MS Word (MAC)
Depending on your operating system, the EndNote ribbon may be initially hidden from view from your Toolbars. You can find it by selecting the View menu option, then Toolbars, and EndNote.
Write While You Cite Not Displaying in MS Word (PC)
The number one tech support question we get is the issue of EndNote not showing up in the toolbar ribbon of Word. Often, the root cause of this is that MS Word was open when you attempted the first install of the plugin in.
Step 1: As a first step to troubleshoot, make sure MS Word is closed. Then try to re-install the .exe file. When prompted with a screen to Modify, Repair, or Remove the application, select Modify.
Step 2: Check to see if the Plugins are clear or have a Red X. If there is a Red X next to the plugin, open the drop down menu and select "Entire feature will be installed on a local hard drive."
Step 3: Follow the remaining instructions to complete the installation. Then open Word to see if the EndNote menu option is available.
