Migrating Word files with EndNote citations

You can convert any 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. See Migrate from Endnote

Download and install the Paperpile style for EndNote

  1. Download the Paperpile.ens style file.

Prepare your Word document with EndNote citations for conversion

  2. Click Update Citations and Bibliography.

Convert to Paperpile citations

  1. In Word, select Paperpile > Settings and Tools > Convert from > EndNote.
  2. A confirmation dialog will appear. Click Convert to convert your EndNote citations to Paperpile citations and wait for the conversion to finish.

    Recommended: Check the Save backup option to back up your document in case something goes wrong during the conversion.

Tip: Use the same citation style you had in your original EndNote document. Unfortunately, we cannot convert the citation style and always use your default style. From the Paperpile tab in Word, go to Settings and Tools > Citation style... and search for your style after the conversion is done.
