All of the references already in my document (written on my previous computer) have been converted to a traveling library.EndNote Basic is the online-only version of EndNote. I synced the library between endnote online and desktop, and it is located on my computer. I recently switched to a new computer and re-downloaded endnote desktop and the “Cite While You Write” plug-in for Word. Some background: I am using the student version of Endnote Desktop X8, and the plug-in is also X8. I also cannot find anything in the plug-in that will tell me what path it might be using by default. How do I direct the plug-in to look in that folder? I can’t find anything in the plug-in that will allow me to select the library or at least direct it to search for it in the Documents folder. enl file is located in my Documents folder. When I open “insert citation”, In the lower left-hand corner, it simply says 'Library: ', and cannot find any references that I search for.

I am unable to insert any citations using the plug-in because it is unable to locate my library. On Mac, in the “Cite While You Write” plug-in for Word, how do you select the library it’s using to insert citations?
