However, occasionally the styles we provide may not exactly meet your needs. For that reason, we provide all the tools you need to create and modify styles yourself.

In addition to an all-encompassing Generic Reference type, EndNote has 47 predefined Reference Types as well as three unused ones.

The Reference Types interface, which is accessible through EndNote s Preferences, determines which fields are available for each of the different Reference Types . The Reference Types interface allows up to 54 different Types of references, each capable of supporting up to 52 fields (including the name of the Reference type).

You can also hide complete Reference Types .

Rows reserved for Authors should be used only for names. Do not enter Reference data into the Reference Types preferences. Changes made to the Reference Types preferences apply to all libraries opened under the current user account.
