If the word does not have a suffix, such as “n”, then the entry will display with no problems. The Oxford English Dictionary: OED Online.

This is how EndNote displays my entry in the Word Definition reference window, which I entered as “university, n.” in the word field: The quote marks around the words did not disappear in my EndNote 9 references for word definitions. So, I now have to change hundreds of reference entries so that they will correctly display bibliographic information. With the changes in EndNote X1, my references for words are no longer displaying correctly because the Webpage reference type has changed. The Dictionary standard reference type in EndNote X1 is not the correct choice for a specific word. In EndNote 9, I used the webpage reference type and entered * The Oxford English Dictionary * in the author field and inserted the word in the title field. (I’m running OSX 10.3.9 on a Powerbook G4, and I’m using EndNote X1 with Word 2004 for Mac.) “Word Definition” is a standard reference type in EndNote X1 for Mac.
