Summary:

EndNote, a program from Adams and Associates, allows you to export entries in rich text format (RTF) by using the Copy Formatted command on EndNote’s Edit menu. This puts the entry in the Clipboard, along with the RTF. The entry can then be pasted into Word with the character formatting intact. However, if no font formatting has yet been applied in the target Word document, the entry pastes in with the New York font. This occurs even if a different default font has been defined in Word.

This behavior occurs because, in EndNote’s effort to be global, it imposes no font format information on the Clipboard. Therefore, when the entry is pasted into Word, it is in the default RTF font, New York, regardless of the designated default font in Word.
