EndNote is capable of formatting a bibliography in over 250 different bibliographic styles. These styles are organized in folders by field of study (e.g. humanities, medicine, psychology). Within each style folder are many different publication styles. While most styles can be completely automatically formatted, some may require post-compilation editorial changes due to limitations in EndNote programming or word processor functionality. The following is an example of one of such limitation note: A list of styles, including notes about limitations, is available from the help menu (see Bibliographic Styles, then select EndNote Styles Collection).
