Abstracts appear as part of your reference when the 'Annotated' output style is selected in EndNote and Word. This is the default style in EndNote when it is first installed.

You can remove the abstract from your document by selecting a different referencing style in EndNote (e.g. Cite Them Right Harvard) and making sure the same referencing style is also selected in the EndNote tab on Word. You may need to click the 'Update Citations and Bibliography' option in the EndNote tab on Word to update references to the new style.
