From the EndNote tab in Word

1. Place your cursor at the point in your document where you wish to add a citation in-text
2. Choose Insert Citation - Find Citation
3. This opens up a dialogue box where you can search for a reference by author, title or keyword
4. Highlight the desired reference and click on Insert
5. This also generates a reference list at the end of the document with the full details according to the referencing style chosen
6. Continue to add further in-text citations where required

Reference List / Bibliography: formatting.

Note that your references may appear consecutively in the final list without the required line-spacing. 

1. To change this, click on the arrow to the right of 'Bibliography' in the Endnote tab in Word
2. This produces a pop-up to 'Configure Bibliography'
3. Select the 'Layout' option at the top of the pop-up
4. In this area of the pop-up you can change the line spacing if required, and the space after
5. Change 'space after' to at least single space to create a gap between each reference
6. At the same time, you can enter a Bibliography Title: 'Reference List' should be enough; this will help to separate the list from the body of the text

Note that you will need to edit the journal titles in the reference list entries in Word to match the abbreviations set out by the style guidelines.  This will have to be done manually in the Word document, after you have added the citations generating the bibliography. Use the NLM journal search page to find out the abbreviations for each journal title.
