MAC compatibility issues

It is a known compatibility issue on M1 Apple Silicon Macs with the new Universal Microsoft Word. Basically the issue is that the Word add-in "Cite while you write" does not launch in the Universal Apple Silicon Microsoft Word version. Clarivate needs to update the plug-in for native compatibility.

The work-around is :

Go to Finder-Applications-Microsoft Word. Right-click Microsoft Word, choose "Get Info" and check the box "Open Using Rosetta." This forces Microsoft Word to launch as an Intel program and restores compatibility with the Endnote Plugin

Your own MAC

See the EndNote vendor's site for up to date details on compatibilities

Download the EndNote X9 for MAC software 

If you have, or are moving to macOS Catalina, see this note - you need X9.3.1.

Check that the EndNote CWYW Toolbar has installed in Word. If not follow the instructions in the left hand box.

Install the three database export files to enable EndNote to work with Chrome, Firefox and Safari (see below).
