Can I transfer the references from the Word document whose EndNote library has been deleted to EndNote?

To export references from a Word document to an EndNote library:

  1. Open the document in Word.
  2. From the Tools menu, go to the EndNote submenu, and then select Export Traveling Library. From the EndNote tab, select Export to EndNote, and then select Export Traveling Library.
  3. On the Export Traveling Library dialog, select either:
  • An existing EndNote library:
    Select a library from the drop-down list of available libraries, or click Browse to locate a library.
  • A new EndNote library:
    You will be prompted to name and save the new library.

Note: We recommend that you export to a new EndNote library, so you can review the records before adding them to an existing library.

There is an alternate way to copy references from your Word document to an EndNote library. Open both your Word document and the EndNote library. Then, in EndNote, go to the Tools menu, then the Cite While You Write submenu, and select Import Traveling Library

When you use the Export/Import Traveling Library commands, the exported references are renumbered and do not retain their original reference numbers.

The Traveling Library does not contain Notes, Abstracts, Figures, or Captions.
