While you are using Chicago Footnotes or AGLC, you will always need to create the footnote first, using Word, and then insert the EndNote reference into the footnote.
The problem:
You are using AGLC or Chicago Footnote style with EndNote and, when you try to insert an in-text citation in your sentence, it generates a reference list entry at the end of your document but doesn't give you the in-text number or the reference in a footnote.
When you look at the Unformatted Citations, you can see that the EndNote codes are in-text where you thought they should be, but when you Update your Citations and Bibliography, you can't see anything in-text.
The reason:
Footnoting styles like AGLC and Chicago Notes and Bibliography (also known as Chicago A) work differently to Author-Date and Numbered styles.
Because footnoting styles have references interspersed with other footnotes, EndNote can't control the in-text numbering, and you cannot put your in-text citation in the body of your text. You need to create a footnote using Word (or Pages, Writer, etc.), and then place your EndNote citation inside the footnote.
The solution:
If you have already tried inserting in-text citations directly into the body of your paper, remove them. Go to Edit and Manage Citations, drop down the Edit Reference box next to each citation and remove it.
To insert your in-text citations correctly, place your cursor where you want your number to appear (usually at the end of a clause or sentence, after the comma or full stop). In the References menu of Word, click on Insert Footnote. Then, make sure your cursor is in the footnote. When you are in the footnote, use the EndNote menu to insert your citation.
If you forget to create the footnote first, and accidentally try to insert the EndNote citation directly into your paragraph, just remove the citation and create your footnote. If you aren't sure which citations need to be removed, you can convert your document to Unformatted Citations and look for the EndNote codes in your paragraphs (they look like this: {Snapper, 2022 #13}).
Please note, this advice is only for footnoting styles like AGLC and the Notes and Bibliography versions of Chicago, Turabian and Oxford. It does not apply to normal numbered styles like AMA and other forms of Vancouver.
