EndNotes won't accept Pages

I can't get EndNotes to accept Pages as the application I will be using. It just keeps telling me "Unable to find Microsoft Word".... Any ideas?

I typed in a quote that I wanted to cite and still did not have that option under "Insert", I also checked under "Edit", but there is no choice below "Writing Tools" in my drop down menu. I tried taking another screenshot to put with this response, but the file size was too large. It basically just showed that I had a quote typed in, and both drop down menus still did not give me an EndNote citation option.

That's what I think is my problem. I don't think it's actually installing it the way it's supposed to. That's what my intial question was about. Each time I've tried to install it, it says that it can't find Microsoft Word, and never gives me the option to choose Pages as my program. I clicked "Next", however, in the box in my first posting here, and it will tell me it was "Successfully installed". However, in my applications folder, the only EndNote is a folder titled "EndNote Web", with "ENWeb_Installer" application, "Cite While You Write" folder containing two .bundle files, a "Readme.txt", and a "XML Support" folder with an .xml file inside.

You don't get an option to look for Pages. It only asks for MS Office. Just let the installer do its work. You will have to add a licence key if you got one. Restart Pages otherwise to get the Endnote options in the menus. Did you check it out??

You should have the Endnote X5.app in the folder too. You didn't move it out of the folder, did you?. This is in the folder:

I just saw that you have Endnote 3. HAve you checked that it is compatible with your Pages?
