## 5.2 Adding a reference

After installing EndNote, you will have a new EndNote tab in Word. You will need this tab if you want to add references from the library to your Word document.

Option 1: Adding references from Word

1. Place the cursor in the Word document where you want to quote.
2. Go to the EndNote tab at the top.
3. Click on the 'Insert Citation' drop-down menu and select 'Insert Citation....’
