Tips and Tricks: Font and paragraph formatting in Endnote Bibliography

Tips and Tricks: Font and paragraph formatting in Endnote Bibliography

There are multiple places that font and paragraph setting can be applied in Endnote and in the word processed document.  When EndNote creates a bibliography, text in Plain Font and Plain Size (see below for more details) uses the font and size of your paper, UNLESS these are over-ridden by settings elsewhere, such as in the record, the style, or in the Format Bibliography Layout sections.
Often, when a bibliography is created, Endnote adopts the paragraph and font settings that are contained in the last paragraph mark of the word document.  If for example, this is Bold, because you set the previous paragraph as "References" and bolded it and then hit return. or if there is no paragraph symbol after the bolded heading "References".  If you select the whole of the references including paragraph symbols before and after the formatted references (just to be sure) and unbold everything and then reformat the paper, I think you will find that the appropriate bolding of specific sections will be restored.  Alternatively delete the bibliography and make sure there is a  paragraph after the title heading is not bolded and is not a "heading" paragraph type (body text or normal). (Note added: This is true for most font information, but it does not appear to adopt the paragraph settings.)
