Combine multiple Word documents with citations
Using Microsoft Word to combine multiple documents with citations can be a time saver. However, you might not be able to display all of the content in the document, or you may not be able to display advanced formatting.

Merging documents in the same Word format can save you time by preserving formatting and images. However, it may be more difficult to combine multiple Word documents that contain EndNote references.
Delete an endnote

Changing the numbering will affect the attributes of the reference number. You can also delete the reference number using the backspace key.
