Writing a LARGE Document?

Are you writing a large document such as a thesis or dissertation?  Working with a large document in WORD can be challenging.  I recommend keeping each chapter as a separate WORD file, then combining them together when you are ready to edit your final version.

You can simply insert one chapter after another into a new WORD document:

  1. Open a new WORD document.
  2. From the Insert menu, choose File, then browse to your first chapter.
  3. Click OK.
  4. Repeat for each additional chapter. 

You can also use the Master Document feature in WORD.  It is a bit more complicated, but has advantages if you used WORD’s built-in styles and headings in your chapters.  If you are using EndNote, you will have to perform some additional steps to ensure your bibliography formats correctly.

Best,

Help! My EndNote Toolbar Didn’t Install Into WORD

Below are the instructions for manually installing the EndNote Toolbar into WORD if it was not installed when you initially installed EndNote:

Windows EndNote 8/9/X and Word 2000/XP/2003

Q: I do not see the EndNote toolbar or commands in Microsoft Word. How can I get the Windows EndNote 8/9/X CWYW commands to appear in Microsoft Word 2000/XP/2003?

A: You must install the program while logged in as the user who will be running the program, and this account must have administrative rights to the local machine during installation in order for Windows to be configured correctly.

The simplest way to get the tools to appear in Word 2000/XP/2003 is to run the EndNote installer again. After accepting the license agreement you will be prompted for the type of installation you would like to perform. Once the installation finishes, open EndNote and a library. Then open Word and check the Tools menu for the EndNote commands.

If the CWYW tools do not install for any reason during program setup you can manually install the tools by doing the following:

  1. Within Microsoft Word go to the Tools menu and select Options.
  2. Click the File Locations tab, highlight the Startup folder, and then click the Modify button.
  3. Note the path to the Microsoft Word Startup folder. If no path is listed at the bottom of the window click on the "Look In" dropdown at the top of the window and note the path.
  4. Close Word and Outlook if running.
  5. Launch Windows Explorer and locate your EndNote folder. The default installation path is "C:\Program Files\EndNote X".
  6. There are two files in this folder you need to copy, depending on which version of Word you are using…

EndNote Word Files (click to download)
8 2000 EN8CWYW.dot
EN8Cwyw.wll
8 XP/2003 EN8CWYW.dot
EN8Cwyw.WordXP.wll
9 2000 EN9CWYW.dot
EN9Cwyw.wll
9 XP/2003 EN9CWYW.dot
EN9Cwyw.WordXP.wll
X 2000 EN10CWYW.dot
EN10Cwyw.wll
X XP/2003 EN10CWYW.dot
EN10Cwyw.WordXP.wll

If you do not see the .wll and .dot file extensions, go to the Tools menu and select Folder Options / View tab. Uncheck the box that reads "Hide file extensions for known file types" and click OK.

  1. Locate the Word Startup folder and paste these two files into this folder. If you cannot find the specified folder, your Windows preferences may be set to hide the folder. In Windows Explorer go to Tools / Folder Options / View tab and make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected.
  2. Launch Microsoft Word.

Before you use the tools for the first time, close Word, then open EndNote and an EndNote library, then re-open Word and click on one of the EndNote tools. The programs must only be opened in this order the first time you use the tools so that Windows will be configured correctly.
