Apple have just released the new MacOS Catalina and have made the decision to drop all 32-bit application support with this release, which will impact EndNote.
Please ensure you have updated to X9.3 before updating to Catalina
Clarivate have released the X9.3 update to EndNote. This converts EndNote into a 64-bit application, ensuring its continuing compatibility with MacOS. We recommend anybody using EndNote X9 completes this update, but especially if you intend to upgrade to MacOS Catalina.
If you have already updated to Catalina you will need to reinstall EndNote X9.3.1 Here's the link (don't forget to save a backup of your Library beforehand).

To update your Mac OS, go to System Preferences > Software Update or go to the Apple Support website.
The Cite While You Write (CWYW) functions put an EndNote submenu of commands on Word’s Tools menu. They allow EndNote to format citations and create a bibliography for the document that is open in Word. Depending on your version of Word you may see either a floating EndNote toolbar or one which is added to the standard Word toolbar options.
