c. for the third author, enter:
de Young, John Robert, Jr.
The first comma separates the last and first name. The second comma is
inserted before suffix text to make it clear that it is not part of the
author’s name for manipulation of name order or stripping to initials
Suffix text will always print after the other information for this author.
Press enter.
d. for the fourth author’s name, enter:
University of California,, Berkeley
Corporate author names are entered with a following comma, so they
will not be manipulated like personal author names. In this case, the
corporate author name has a comma within the name. We inserted two
commas to allow for correct formatting. The first comma makes it clear
that text up to that point should not be manipulated. The second
comma indicates that there is no first name, yet includes suffix text

creates a bibliography.

which amounts to 10-12 pages of text.

file Attachments field of a reference.
Scroll to the file Attachments field, and from the References menu,
select file Attachments > Attach file to display a file dialog. on the file dialog:
a. Navigate to the folder Program files\endNote X7.
b. Notice the check box titled “Copy this file to the default file attachment
folder and create a relative link”. make sure that you select this box so that
endNote will make a copy of the file to store with the library.
That way, the attached file is always available to you, even
when you move the library.
c. Highlight the file titled endnoteX7Winhelp.pdf.
d. Click open to insert the file into the file Attachments field.
A file icon will appear in the field.
You can attach up to 45 different files to a single reference. double-click
the file icon to open the file with the default program for the file type.
