frontmost error message
Author: Mark Lea MMSD    Posted: Tue, 25 Mar 2003 13:12:32 -0600
Hey Gang, I am using EndNote 6.02 with Word X on an Apple Ti Powerbook running OS X 10.2+ "JagWire". There are two constant irritants with that setup. 1. I get the message "There are no references selected in the frontmost EndNote library." when I know there are references selected. My workaround has been to go back to EndNote and re-select the already selected reference. That is kind of a pain. 2. The second glitch is even more irritating. If a document is edited shortly after it is opened in Word, Word frequently crashes (i.e., the little multi-colored beachball spins forever). It seems to manifest itself more frequently when Entourage is also open, but I can't be sure. Does anyone have any ideas? Sincerely, -- Mark Lea, Library Media Services Coordinator Madison Metropolitan School District Doyle Administration Building 545 West Dayton - Room 115 Madison, WI 53703-1995 608 663-1925 608 204-0350 (fax) /> PS: I seem to remember some trick with the normal.dot template, but have been unable to relocate the original posting.

this is the reply by endnote tech support to my enquiry about the crashing WordX, i.e. endless spinning muli-coloured disk after typing a few letters. regards Gert Anfang der weitergeleiteten E-Mail: > Hello Gert, > > You may have a corrupted preference file. > > Locate the USER:NAME:LIBRARY:PREFERENCES:MICROSOFT and put these three > files > to the Recycle bin: > > -Carbon Registration Database > -Word Settings (10) > -Office Registration Cache X > > Then restart Word. > > If that does not work, try the following: > Words Visual Basic will not function (Which Endnote is loading when > word > starts up) if the Home folder is not on the same partition as the OSX > System folder. > In to find your home folder, do the following: > > 1.
