Displaying whole record on one "page"
Author: Alan Nonymous    Posted: Fri, 25 Apr 2003 09:34:54 +0000
Even with a 17" screen I find I can only see as far down as the ISBN number of each record without paging down. Normally, however, I want to scan through the notes, keyword and abstract fields of several records. When I go between records I am always returned to the top of the screen each time I look at a new one. Has anyone found a way around this? A way to reduce the overall font size or re-order the fields shown for example? Is this something that is fixed in v. 6? _________________________________________________________________ Use MSN Messenger to send music and pics to your friends http://www.msn.co.uk/messenger

Hello, If you click on the Keywords box on one record (as though you were going to edit it) then click the Next arrow, the following record will display the field you boxed. However, I dislike this because the keywords/abstract is out of context of the author/journal which requires up-scrolling So I recommend a workaround... If you especially want to see the abstract, I recommend in the List view, select Annotated Style under Output Style and in the Preview Pane you will see the brief citation *and* the abstract. I think this is the most efficient way to review multiple records because it gives you authors/journal *and* abstract all the in same view, whereas in the record-by-record review the lower fields such as keyword and abstract appears out of context. Keywords don't fit in anywhere very efficiently for a view...Show All as a style for the Preview Pane gets pretty long and scroll-intensive. oh, I forgot to mention, you can enlarge the Preview Pane by grabbing the separator bar and pulling up so you can see all/most of the abstract. You can use the down arrow keys to navigate down the list and change the content of the preview pane for each consecutive record. I encourage UGA users of research databases to do quick exports of their search matches into Endnote in maximum quantities allowable (100, 500, etc) and then at their leisure review the records in the Annotated style in the Preview Pane and decide which to keep and which to delete. One doesn't have to be online and the PP view may even be superior to the database record view. I call it Endnote's "time management" feature <smile> No full-screen options in EN4 and 5; in my teaching of EN6 I haven't seen a full-screen view option...but I haven't installed 6 at my desk yet.. virginia benjamin univ. of georgia libraries From: "Alan Nonymous" /> To: /> Subject: Displaying whole record on one "page" Date sent: Fri, 25 Apr 2003 09:34:54 +0000 Send reply to: /> > Even with a 17" screen I find I can only see as far down as the ISBN number > of each record without paging down.

Here is another workaround which is similar to the one suggested by Virginia Benjamin. The suggested output style may be replaced by a self created(modified) one which just shows you the record as you want. Than you should select the references you want to see and activate the preview window with your selected style. You can enlarge the preview window even until filling nearly the whole screen. The record list above should be reduced until you only see two (!!) records. This allows you to go through the selected records just by pressing always the Page-down key. Hope that this meets your needs, Guenter
