You can convert any MS Word document written with EndNote to Paperpile in three simple steps.

Tip: Import your whole EndNote library to Paperpile before conversion. That way we can automatically connect the converted citations with your library and keep them in sync.

Visit our migration guide for tips on how to do so.
