How to Reformat a Centered Bibliography or Remove Unwanted Numbering in EndNote APA 6th Edition

When working with citations and bibliographies in EndNote, it's not uncommon to encounter issues with formatting. In this article, we'll provide step-by-step instructions on how to reformat a centered bibliography and remove unwanted numbering.

Editing Citations

Before we dive into the specifics of formatting, it's essential to emphasize that you should never manually edit citations or your reference list in EndNote. Manually typed changes will be lost when you close out of your document, which can cause complications with your library and document. Instead, use the following steps to edit in-text citations:

1. Right-click on the item and choose 'Edit Citation' from the drop-down menu.

Instant Formatting

In Word 2013+, Turn on Instant Formatting from the EndNote Toolbar. In Word 2010, go to the EndNote Tab > Bibliography > Instant Formatting.

Removing Unwanted Numbering

Whenever you insert page numbers (or open a document that has page numbers), it may automatically enter this formula. To remove unwanted numbering, follow these steps:

1. Open the Format drop-down and select Numbering.

2. Select the highlighted EndNote Bibliography in the Styles Pane drop-down menu.

Removing Unwanted Numbering

To reformat a centered bibliography or remove unwanted numbering, use the following steps:

1. Select a citation from the bibliography.

2. In MS Word, from the Home tab, open the Styles Pane and select the desired formatting option.

Fixing Citations with Organizational Names as Authors

If you're encountering issues with citations that have organizational names as authors, follow these steps:

1. Double-click on the citation in the EndNote library (or select the citation and use Quick Edit).

2. Add a comma after the entry in the author field to differentiate the organizational name from a person.

By following these simple steps, you should be able to reformat your centered bibliography, remove unwanted numbering, and fix citations with organizational names as authors. Remember to always work within EndNote's editing features to avoid losing changes and ensuring proper formatting for your library and document.
