This is very useful if you need to divide your bibliography into different sections. You can create your bibliography categories when you first begin writing a paper or at anytime during a writing project.

  • Open your Microsoft Word document.
  • Select the EndNote tab.
  • Select the Categorize References from the EndNote ribbon to open the Configure Categories dialog. 
  • Create your categories by clicking the Category Headings (+) button to display a blank text field below the Category Headings section.
  • Enter a unique category name. For example, enter "Books" or "Journal articles" as a category if you want all your cited references to appear under this category. 
  • Continue creating categories.
  • Using the drag-and-drop method, drag a specific reference to the appropriate category under the Category Headings section.
  • Continue this process until all references are assigned a particular category. 
  • Check the "Not Yet Assigned to a Category" section to ensure that all references have been assigned to a category.
