References will be formed into a list automatically as you add your citations. However, additional formatting of the list is possible:
From the EndNote tab, select the Configure bibliography arrow below the Instant Formatting options (not the easiest to spot!).
Select the Layout tab from the resulting pop-up window:
Add a title for your reference page, and format this as relevant, e.g. Title=References, alignment=centred.
Amend the font, size and line spacing to suit the requirements of your referencing style.
For example, APA requires double spacing within and between references.
Single spacing after references can make a CiteThem Right list more legible.
Select OK to confirm the changes.
Use the 'update citations and bibliography' button on the EndNote toolbar in MS Word to ensure that the entries in your reference list reflect any amendments you may have made to the related EndNote record.
A quick tip for those writing short pieces of work who are happy to manually type in-text citations.
You can make a quick reference list in Word if you don’t want to deal with inserting individual citations, editing the individual fields etc.
