How do I activate the shading of citations in Word for EndNote?
Answer
EndNote uses field codes to work with Word. It is useful to activate the field code shading in Word to make the EndNote text easier to see and so to avoid accidently editing or deleting it. Below are instructions for different versions of Word.
Word 2016/2010/2013: Click on the File tab in the top left corner of your Word window and select Options. Click on Advanced, set the Field Shading drop-down box to 'Always', and click OK.
Word 2007: Click on the round multicoloured Microsoft Office icon in the top left corner of your Word window and select Word Options. Click on Advanced, set the Field Shading drop-down box to 'Always', and click OK.
Mac versions: Go to the Word menu, select Preferences and then the View icon. Set the Field Shading drop-down box to 'Always', and click OK
