The integration of Word and EndNoteX3

Since completed Prof KJ workshop, I tried to fix my Word 2007 to integrate with EndNote X3. The trial version of EndNote X3 is already expired. For preparing the completed journal using APA style, I prefer to use EndNote rather than manually key in the references. Alhamdulillah, finally at 5.20pm today I found the problem and I can use Word with integrating the full version of EndNote. What a relieved!


I am not a Computer Science (CS) people, but I love to try. It sounds alike as computer engineering, but honestly in Malaysia computer engineering is more on the hardware even though still needs a programming. Furthermore, my beloved field in computer engineering that is RTL design, necessitate to have in depth of knowledge in hardware level, before proceed to programming. Actually what we do is a hardware programming such as FPGA, microcontroller, microprocessor and others. 


Back to EndNote...After installing EndNote, the Word should be automatically integrated with EndNote. However, there was no menu for the EndNote! How can I use EndNote for my references? Then, what I did was so called 'troubleshoot'. Hahahaha....

  1. I tried to uninstall EndNote using Control Panel, but fail to integrate with Word after reinstalled.
  2. I tried to delete all EndNote folder manually and uninstall using Control Panel,but still fail after reinstalled.
  3. I tried to reinstall EndNote and restart my laptop, but fail again after reinstalled.
  4. I tried to restart Word after reinstall, but fail.
  5. I tried to copy folder Program Files/EndNote inside K Has's laptop and pasted to my program files,but still fail to copy the overall.

The successful method is shown in Figure below:
Figure 1 Click on the icon and choose 'More Commands'

Figure 2 The Customizes tab will automatically open. Click on 'Add-Ins' tab and the display above appears. 
Try to check at the 'Disabled Application Add-Ins' and you will see that the EndNote is disabled. The picture above is not the real display because the integration is already done.

Figure 3 Click on dropped down menu at Manage and choose 'Disable Items' and then click OK.

Figure 4 Finally you can see the EndNote menu in your Word. Then you can use it and exploit the whole of EndNote applications.
