Capitalization Styles: Endnote Definitions
EndNote will give you three options to choose from:
- Leave titles as entered: No changes are made.
- Headline style capitalization: The first letter of every significant word is capitalized. Articles and prepositions are not capitalized.
- Sentence style capitalization: Only the first letter of every title is capitalized.
Changing Capitalization
Determine if the capitalization you want is selected (by default) for the output style of choice:
- Select Tools
- Select Output Styles
- Select Open Style Manager
- Highlight the Style you wish to edit and select edit:
- On the left side of the screen look for Footnotes, and the subheading Title Capitalization and determine what the default format is [the default is the bulleted item] If you don't like it you can change it.
- Both the Footnotes and Bibliography sections have a Title Capitalization panel. This lets you enter one style of capitalization for the titles in your bibliographic references, and another format for when the references appear in footnotes.
- To save changes you have made, exit the window and it will prompt you to save your changes. Don't forget to save your changes as a copy; this way any changes made can be easily fixed without permanently changing the original output style. Test your changes in a test Word document.
- You will need to select this copy of the style. In EndNote select the Tools drop down menu and select your new output style.
Note: In Word, you will need to select your new output style in the style dropdown menu and click update citations and bibliography.
