I don’t know it’s what my colleagues tell me. They are maintained if you ‘Save As’ PDF rather than print to PDF - but it is harder to get a high quality PDF.Īpparently Word on Mac does not do this saving at all. If you print a file to PDF, you get good quality and all but lose the internal crosslinks (eg that let a reader click on ‘Figure 2’ and be taken to Figure 2). The same method will output to BibTeX and all the other formats available in EndNote. This will give: TY - RPRT AU - Australian Cyber Security Centre CY - Canberra PB - Australian Signals Directorate PY - 2021 RN - ST - Guidelines for system hardening T2 - Australian Government information security manual TI - Guidelines for system hardening ID - 158 ER. If you want RIS format (also readable by EndNote and other tools), choose ‘Refman (RIS) Export’ as the format, but otherwise do the same. Here is an example ENW file: %0 Report %A Australian Cyber Security Centre %D 2021 %T Guidelines for system hardening %B Australian Government information security manual %C Canberra %I Australian Signals Directorate %! Guidelines for system hardening %< Someone good with text processing could probably write a script to chop this TXT file into bits and save them separately. If saving 1 reference at a time, you can specify the file name ( eg ABS-2018-some-words-here.enw), but it may be easier to export all to the one TXT file and then cut and paste from the file into separate ENW files. In the file export dialog, choose your output style, and highlighted entries will be saved as that. Select to export to a plain text (TXT) file.

(Go to the style chooser and choose Select Another Style, then select the one you want.) RIS is probably preferable, but in my experience both work well enough – RIS may work better with other citation management tools (eg Zotero).Ĭhange the output format to ‘EndNote Export’ (this adds it to the list of readily available styles). Two formats that might be of use here are ENW and RIS. To allow users to download a citation and then use it in EndNote (X7) or some other reference management tool, we want the citation to be stored in its own little text file.
