Tutorial: Creating a Basic Bibliography in EndNote (X4 or X5!)

Have you ever wanted to create a simple bibliography from an EndNote library?  I mean, creating bibliographies with EndNote is easy enough when you're using the Cite While You Write feature...but what if you're not writing a paper?  What if you just want to create a list of (properly formatted) references with the items in your EndNote library?

It's really as easy as 1-2-3:

Specifically, the steps are:

(1) Open your EndNote library and highlight all of your references (click on one, then use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + A)

(2) Go to the Edit menu (top left of the EndNote program) and select "Copy formatted" from the list

(3) Open a word document, then right click and select "paste" or use the keyboard shortcut for pasting (Ctrl + V)

You've just created a simple bibliography with EndNote!
