CWYW 45: How can I get the Windows EndNote X1/X2 CWYW commands to appear in Microsoft Word?

Answer: For a solution for your version of Word, click on the appropriate link below:

Note that if you have EndNote X or earlier, or any Mac version, these steps will not work. For these versions, see the steps Here.



Word 2000/XP/2003

EndNote X1

The simplest way to get the tools to appear in Word 2000/XP/2003 is to run the Configure EndNote Utility from the EndNote Start Menu or the EndNote X1 Program Files folder. Once you run the utility, make sure "Configure EndNote components for me" is selected and click Next. Select the "Unified Cite While you Write for the Microsoft Word" option and click Next. Click Finish when you are done.


EndNote X2
The simplest way to get the tools to appear in Word 2000/XP/2003 is to run the "Repair" function by selecting EndNote X2 in the Add/Remove Programs (Programs and Features in Vista) in the Windows Control Panel. Choose "Change" then select "Repair". Click Next on each of these screens until the process finishes.

EndNote X1/X2
As an alternate method to installing the tools, you can do the following:

  1. Open a command line.

    XP or 2000: Go to the start menu, choose "Run" and type:
    CMD
    Click OK.

    Vista: Go to the start menu. In the search box here, type:
    CMD
    Hold down SHIFT and CTRL and hit the Enter Key.
    You will be prompted to approve the "Windows Command Processor."
    Choose "Continue"

  2. At the prompt, do the following:


For EndNote X1 type:
CD "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Thomson ResearchSoft\Cwyw"


For EndNote X2 type:
CD "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Thomson ResearchSoft\Cwyw\12"


Note that if you have common files installed in a different location, you would need to find this CWYW folder in that other location.

  1. From this folder, run the command:

    regsvr32 "EndNote Cwyw.dll"
