Installation
Options
Are you installing the full program after experimenting with
the Demo version?
Please uninstall the Demo version before installing the full
program. See “Uninstalling Reference Manager” on page 23.
Are you upgrading Reference Manager?
We suggest that you back up any styles, import filters, and
databases that you don’t want overwritten before installing
Reference Manager 12. While it is not required, we recommend
uninstalling all previous versions of Reference Manager before
installing Reference Manager 12. See “Upgrading from an Earlier
Reference Manager Version” on page 16.
Are you installing Reference Manager onto a network server?
Chapter 19 in the full ReferenceManager.PDF file covers
installing and using Reference Manager in a network
environment.
Do you plan to use Reference Manager to format citations in
your word processor documents?
As of June 2008, Reference Manager is compatible with:
ʁ
Microsoft Word for Windows 2003 and 2007
ʁ
WordPerfect for Windows 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13
The Cite While You Write feature adds Reference Manager
commands to Word or WordPerfect. It allows Reference
Manager to format citations and create a bibliography for the
document that is open in Word or WordPerfect. You can format,
unformat, and reformat a single document—without ever exiting
your word processor. In Word 2003 or WordPerfect, Reference
Manager commands appear on the Tools menu. In Word 2007,
these commands appear on a Reference Manager tab.
If a supported version of Microsoft Word or WordPerfect is
installed on your computer, the appropriate Cite While You
Write files are automatically installed when you install
Reference Manager. These features can be used with a shared
copy of Word or WordPerfect on a network.
In order for Cite While You Write to install properly:
ʁ
Microsoft Word or WordPerfect must be correctly installed
on your computer prior to installing Reference Manager.
ʁ
During the Reference Manager installation process, you will
need administrative rights to the local machine.

Chapter 1: Installing and Upgrading Reference Manager
The check box is selected to “Install content files to common
documents folder.” This installs import filters, output styles,
and sample files to a shared folder. We recommend that you
install to this shared location to allow sharing and editing of
the files. If you clear the box, content files will be installed in
the Reference Manager 12 program folder. Windows does
not recommend editing files located in the Program Files
folder.
Select Features: By default, both Reference Manager and
Web Publisher are installed. Web Publisher is explained in
Chapter 18 of the full ReferenceManager.PDF manual.
Select Default Citation Manager: (Microsoft Word 2007
only) If the installer detects Microsoft Word 2007, it asks
whether to “Use Reference Manager as my default citation
manager.” Cite While You Write will be installed in Word
2007 in any case, but when this item is selected the installer
will suppress Word’s native Citations and Bibliography
commands (the group normally found on the References tab
in Word) in order to avoid confusion for the user.
Ready to Install: You can still click Cancel to stop the
installation. Once you click Next, the installation program
will begin installing Reference Manager files.
4. On the final “Reference Manager 12 has been successfully
installed” dialog, you may opt to register the product or click
Finish to close the installation program.
To make sure the program installed correctly, see “Checking
Your Installation” on page 17.

Installing Word Processor Support Later
When you install Reference Manager, the installer program looks
for Microsoft Word and WordPerfect on your computer. If it
finds a compatible version, the appropriate Cite While You Write
word processor files are installed. There are several instances,
though, where you may need to reinstall these files after
Reference Manager is installed.
Installing CWYW Support
When you install Reference Manager 12, Cite While You Write
(CWYW) tools are installed for the current workstation. In Word
2003 or WordPerfect they appear on a Tools>Reference Manager 12
menu. In Word 2007, they appear on a Reference Manager 12 tab.
However, if you installed or upgraded Word or WordPerfect
after installing Reference Manager, the appropriate files may not
be installed and registered.
If you do not see CWYW commands in Word or WordPerfect:
1. Run the Reference Manager 12 Installer again. You can
either:
ʁ
Double click the installer file on disk or CD.
ʁ
From the Windows Control panel, choose Add or Remove
Programs, highlight Reference Manager 12, and click
Change.

If the program has already been installed on this computer,
you will be given the option to Modify, Repair or Remove.
2. Select “Repair” and proceed with the installation.
Reference Manager 12 commands should now appear in your
word processor.
Setting the Default Citation Manager for Word 2007
When Word 2007 is detected as you install Reference Manager,
Cite While You Write (CWYW) tools are installed in Word 2007.
You are given the option of selecting Reference Manager as the
default citation manager for Word.
When you select Reference Manager as the default citation
manager for Word 2007, the Citations and Bibliography group on
the References tab in Word is suppressed. This keeps users from
inadvertently using native Word citation commands rather than
using commands on the Reference Manager tab to Cite While
You Write.
To change the default citation manager setting for Word 2007:
1. Log in to your Windows user account with full read and
write access rights.
2. Do one of these:
ʁ
From the Windows Start menu, choose All Programs, then
Reference Manager 12, then Configure Reference Manager.
ʁ
Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the
Program
Files\Reference Manager 12
folder. Double-click on the
RefManConfig.exe
file.
