EndNote X4 and Microsoft Word Starter 2010
The Faculty Liaison staff have become aware that some PCs are being sold with a packaged version of Office called Microsoft Office 2010 Starter. Microsoft Office Starter includes a cut down version of Word and Excel. There is a significant difference between the Starter version and the full version of Office (see below), notably, the EndNote toolbar will not work with the Starter version of Word.
| Are Word Starter and Excel Starter different than full Word and Excel? Yes, Word Starter and Excel Starter are reduced functionality versions of the full versions of Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel. Word Starter and Excel Starter include features for basic authoring and editing, but lack more powerful features like the ability to track comments and changes in your documents; password protect your documents; create tables of contents, footnotes, citations or bibliographies; perform advanced data analysis such as with pivot tables; and the ability to customize the Ribbon and Quick Access Toolbar.

This means that you cannot use the EndNote X4 cite-while-you-write tools with Microsoft Word Starter. If you have purchased a new computer and you cannot get the EndNote toolbar to appear check to see if you have the Starter version of Word. If so, you will need to upgrade to a full version in order to use the EndNote X4 cite-while-you-write tools.
