EndNote X6 Windows: Install Word CWYW Toolbar

Note: EndNote X6 was not designed to be compatible with Office 2013, as they were developed before the release of Word 2013.

We advice you to install the newest version of EndNote: version X7. EndNote X7 is fully compatible with the newest Office version.
You can find EndNote X7 in our shop. Click here to go to our shop.
 
The tools may need to be manually added to Word if they do not appear:
  1. Browse to the Word 2013 folder: 
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15." 
    Note: If Microsoft Office is not listed under "Program Files (x86)," look under just "Program Files."
    For Office 365, the folder will be:
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office15”
  2. Right-click WINWORD.EXE and select "Run as Administrator" to open Word 2013 with Administrative rights.
  3. Go to the File Menu and choose "Options."
  4. Select "Add-Ins" from the list at the left.
  5. At the bottom of the Add-Ins page, there is a "Manage:" dropdown list. Leave this on "COM Add-ins" and select Go.
  6. On the COM Add-Ins page, Choose the "Add..." button.
  7. Browse to the following location and select the "EndNote CWYW.dll" file.
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\ResearchSoft\Cwyw\16

    If you do not have a "Program Files (x86)" folder, look in  "Program Files" for the Common Files folder.

    Note: If you have common files installed in a different location, you would need to find this CWYW folder in that other location.

  8. Once you have Selected the "EndNote CWYW.dll" file, choose OK and OK again to close the COM Add-Ins screen. The EndNote tools should now be in Word.
Note: If you receive a message that EndNote CWYW.dll was not a valid Office add-in when attempting to add the COM Add-in, there is an update you need from Microsoft:
  1. Exit Word.
  2. Download “vcredist_x64.exe” from: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26368
  3. Install the "vcredist_x64.exe" update file.
  4. Follow the steps above to add the Endnote Cwyw.dll file in Word.
