Re: Jeanne Chang's problem with version 3.1 endnote Subject: problem with version 3.1 endnote Jeanne The first thing you might do is to check the style is not corrupted. The most likely explanation is that whoever entered it originally put in 2 full stops instead of one but didn't notice. If so just edit one out. (I don't have this style on my machine so I cannot check myself). Doesn't sound like the reason to upgrade if you're happy with everything else your version does for you.

Loren; EndNote 4 is compatible with Word 2001, but you will need to manually install the EndNote Word Add-in file to the Word startup folder. This is how you can manually install it. 1. In Word 2001, choose "Edit>Preferences>File Locations>Startup" to locate the folder Word is using as its startup folder. This is where it will be looking for the correct add-in file, so make a note of this location. 2. Close Word. 3. In Finder, go to your EndNote:Microsoft Word Add-in folder and locate the file "EndNote Word Add-in." Copy JUST this file from the EndNote folder to the Word startup folder. (One trick to make this easier is to hold down the Option key and drag it to your desktop (holding down the Option key will copy it instead of moving it), then locate and open the Startup folder and drag the file into it.) 4. Restart Word. The add-in should load correctly.

I used to connect the PubMed through our institutional proxy server using the Endnote connection file. What I did was to change the server address (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) to the proxy server of our institution and it worked OK. Recently, the number of proxy servers were increased to four!!! and I have no idea which one I am connected when I am on-line. In the Internet Explorer ->Internet option ->connection ->LAN setting, I was asked to choose the "automatic configuration script" and typed the designated address, web-surfing is not a problem. However, I could not seem to get the PubMed connection work whatever I type!!! Any experience with this problem? Thank you in advance. Felix Li Hong Kong

Hi there, I'm still trying to get EndNote to put in "-" automatically when opening a new reference. I tried the "Change Text" field by replacing the "space" with a "-", however it works only the author,year,title,comments,journal,keywords field but not in others where I need it. The reason for it is to export all references in MS Excel using delimiters. If one field wasn't filled (leaving a space), MS Excel shifts the cell to the left because its empty. This doesn't line up in my excel sheet - therefore, I put in a "-" in each field where nothing is in. Is there an easier way? Is this the right way to put in my question anyway? Thank you.

There is obviously a bug in EN4, CTRL-ENTER works fine for me (also Option-Return on the Mac). May be a bug somewhere, but not yet 'obviously...in EN4'? Ken Williams Are you sure that you are using the latest version of EN4? My vague recollection is that when EN4 was first released the above solution did not work, but this "bug" was corrected with one of the subsequent upgrade patches for EN4 (on the PC anyway). I have always used a different separator between keywords, i.e. //. I recall trying to do use the change text command soon after I first got EN4 and having trouble, but not now with the latest update. James Anholm Loma Linda University School of Medicine

On 21 Feb 2001 In response to a detailed explanation of how to remove field codes by Ingvar Ericsson, Jie Li responded: >This is great to know. However, I did a simpler way. I just copy and cut >the reference and paste it in a notepad or wordpad, and recopy it from >notepad/wordpad and paste it back to word file. The "code" is gone. I think most of Ingvar's explanation covered adding the unlinking fields command to a menu, CTRL+6 by itself will do the job if you don't feel the need for the command on a menu. The cutting and pasting alternative would be tedious for a large document. It's also worth bearing in mind that removing field codes also does away with other Word fields covering such things as, date and time, table of contents, index etc. Hence the need, as pointed out, to do this at the final stage and to keep a copy of the file with the field codes Dr David G Jones British Geological Survey Keyworth Nottingham NG12 5GG

They are easy to make just by copying one that has complete information for a given chapter, then immediately pasting it back into the library. Then, you can edit the pasted record for authors, chapter title, pages, etc. I often deal with a journal that doesn't fit any of the pre-made styles, so I had to make a new style. In the custom style, I created a field for Chapter and in the output format for the style (that goes into the bibliography at the end of the paper) had it automatically put in text like "Ch. XX in " where the XX is the number pulled from the chapter field of the library record. I don't know if this is clear or not, but it does work, and isn't much extra labor. I needed the separate chapters entered as separate records anyway (to give proper author credits rather than editor), so the largest efforts were to tweak the output style to include the text and pull the right information in the right place. It shouldn't be hard to modify one of the existing styles if you are using one of them. If needed, you can also extend the ouput format to include the book editor(s). Hope this helps. If this is foggy, I can try to clarify it. Good luck! --Mike Michael R. Schock Chemist Water Supply & Water Resources Division, MS B-24 National Risk Management Research Laboratory, USEPA 26 W.

Hi Endnote users, To be fair, I think the connection to PubMed is slightly more problematic than other databases available in the connection files of Endnote. I also agree that this has sometime to do with the "firewall" or "proxy setting". I have no problem connecting to PubMed (maybe more than 10 hours a day) using our institutional network but connection using telephone dial-up to the same network is fraught with problems. It was once solved after changing the server and database (to PubMed NLM and PubMed MedLine respectively) and adjusing the proxy server names. Unfortunately, when the "computer experts" in our institution decided to changed the connecting setting to "automatic configuration script", similar problems of long waiting and errors appeared. Ironically, connection to other public databases (something I never use unfortunately) is never difficult. In my 8 years of Endnote and Endnot-digest experience, this problem had been brought up again and again. So far, there is no good solution. It doesn't trouble me too much now as I have restricted my self to search PubMed only within the ATM backbone of our institution.

Any body in the forum has any idea about the difference between the connection file to "NLM PubMed" and the library of "Purdue University"? While there is tremendous difficulty connecting to the former, connecting to that of Purdue University is always a click of a button. All help, especially from ISI, would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance. Felix Li Hong Kong

Hi, List members, Is there any one using MS-Word "cross-reference" or "table of contend" function for large writing file like a chapter of thesis? I wonder whether the Endnote or Procite conjoined with MS-Word has caused conflicts or bugs with the Macro of cross-reference in Word, my files became weird and crash often in terms of losing its macro.....

Hui-Chun, I use cross-referencing for tables, figures, and table of contents all the time with EndNote and do not have problems with cross-referencing or EndNote (Windows95 PC, EN4). My documents are not always Ph.D. thesis long but can run up to 1MB in file size. (now I just wish that EndNote would automatically cross-reference the in text citation with the reference at the end of the document so one could hyper-link between the two spots).

I work with over 200 physicians, and have set up a library for each one. When they collaborate on a project, I can use as many libraries as necessary to format a new manuscript. I do not set up a library for each manuscript, just each writer. Does this help? Darlene E.

And remember, this is academia that we are talking about, where all these computer guys doing graduate work are going through hoops to make their own life easier, and get some fame in the process. So, Unix is the most popular operating system after Windoze in academia. There are already little snippets of code to do some of endnote functionality (bibTeX, biblook, biblabel, etc.). OS X and Linux will in all likelihood propel unix to be the most popular operating system (just see how much badmouthing the GNU community is getting from Micro$oft). In my group, we have more than 16 unix machines, 20 Windows machines, and 6 Macs, I for one have to go to one of the Windoze machines to use EndNote (we would not get them for the macs yet), with a clear perspective on using more and more Linux boxes and moving some of the Windo$e boxes to Linux. If I had a better way to handle bibliography on the Unix box I'm sitting at, I would not think twice to use it. To me is very clear that if EndNote does not step ahead, there will soon be a Linux/OS X compatible bib database engine for free.

It defaults to looking for a library in the EndNote root directory, so I use a temporary library from which I move new references into their respective appropriate libraries at the end of a Science Direct session. It works using either Netscape (4.75) or Internet Explorer (5, 5.5). After checking the boxes of the papers of interest, choose "export," which sends you to a new screen. Select "Citations" or "Citations + Abstracts" under Export as you wish, then leave the default format "RIS format (for Reference Manager, ProCite, EndNote)." It then asks you for the EndNote library to which you want the references exported. Note that if you have other references in that library, they will not show in the first screen. You will have to go to the menu "References/show all" to display them. I hope this helps. Michael R.

multiple field updating This is very easy, although what you are seeking is not multiple field updating but updating a single field with the same data. You use the 'Change Field' command from the 'References' menu. You have the choice to replace the whole field, or add material before or after the existing entry . Page 154 of the En4 / Win Manual explaims this. It was a new or improved feature somewhere along the road, so I cannot say if your version works the same way.

Regarding Multiple Field Updating: Yes you can easily update a particular field across any number of references. This is what the "Change Field" and "Change Text" functions are supposed to do. Admittedly these are not terribly sophisticated commands, but they may be able to do what you need. It would be extremely helpful if ISI would incorporate macro capabilities--such as a way to write simple Visual Basic macros to accomplish more complicated tasks. Anyone listening at ISI???

Depending on the complexity, another route to go is to set the style to EndNote Export and do an export. This will produce a tagged text file output of the citations. You could then potentially use more sophisticated pattern matching or search and replace functions on the text file. Once you have made your changes, import it back into EndNote. The only caveat is that if you have used that EndNote library to make intext citations in a word document, all of those links will be broken. So if that is the case make sure and import it as a new library, instead of replacing the old.

Dear EndNote colleages and afficianados; I have two or three journal papers and conference proceedings papers in which one of the authors has a hyphenated FIRST name. Is there a way to preserve this during reference entry and then correctly appreviate it (first initial only) in an output style? I looked through the manual, and have tried several approaches by trial-and-error, but other than just putting the first name in as the first initial, I haven't found a way to successfully do it. It would be nice to have the output style show either the first initial, or the whole first name. It kept getting broken up by the hyphen. I tried alternative symbols close to the hyphen, too, and that didn't work. I'm sure there is a simple way to overcome this that I'm just missing. I am using EndNote 4.0.1 with the Windows 98 SE operating system. I am using a custom output style for a journal, but I couldn't get it to work correctly with several pre-made and furnished journal styles. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi all, Virginia Benjamin suggests using our local universities' electronic databases to look up journal articles. I'm relatively new to EndNote and am wondering, do I have to go over to the library to do this? In other words, assuming my university allows me to access its databases electronically, what's the best way to get EndNote to import the search output? Sometimes I've managed to download records (generally from Melvyl, not my own university) in text format and then import them into EndNote. It would be much better if I could use EndNote's connection facility. It appears this would mean (1) that I have to be able to connect to my university library system (it's not a standard connection), (2) access the licensed database(s), and (3) search them with the EndNote connection facility. This is an area of EndNote that's still a dark mystery to me. Could someone give me some pointers on how to set up something like this? Thanks.

Virginia Benjamin" Subject: Re: importing from a word document bibliography Hello Craig Lockwood, If most of the items in the bibliography were written in scholarly journals in the last 25 years, you might consider searching each reference in one of the electronic databases that your university licenses on your behalf.. Current Contents/Web of Science, Agricola, ERIC, MLA, Medline, PsycInfo, whatever your discipline there are excellent databases if your references are fairly recent. These databases typically have filters that ship with Endnote which import your references effortlessly. Usually the first 3 to 4 words of an article title will locate the reference in a database..or you can key author's last name and first two words of title to get a match... Minimal keying should do the job.. Build your list of references and then import them in bundles of 50 or whatever you have time to accumulate.. The added Value that will attach to your Endnote records if you locate the references in a database will be the Keywords and, frequently, Abstracts which will import along with the bare-bones citation. After your new Endnote library grows to several thousand records or more, you'll be glad of Keywords and Abstracts as additional access points when searching for records on a topic.. Direct import from a word bibliography would limit matching in an Endnote search on words in the title or an author's name that you remember... Can you tell I'm having more "senior moments" these days, so I'm especially sensitive to maintaining as many avenues for retrieval as possible !! :) You alone can balance the skill needed to write a custom filter to import the word references into Endnote fields with the database search activity and decide where you want to put the effort. I'm merely suggesting you consider the long-term effect of your choice... If the references in the bibliography are older, or are publications such as scientific reports or other "grey-literature" that might not be well-indexed, then I think your best bet is your original thought to write a custom filter to import the word document. good luck, virginia Virginia Benjamin Faculty Liaison for Electronic Library Services University of Georgia Libraries Athens, GA. 30602 email: http://www.libs.uga.edu/liaison voice: 706-542-0683 fax: 706-542-4144 > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2001 09:37:12 +0930 > From: craig lockwood > Subject: Re: endnote-interest-digest V1 #950 > > Hi, > > This may be a stupid question, but... > > Is there a way to import endnote bibliographies from a word document in to a > new endnote library? > > with thanks, > Craig. > > endnote-interest-digest wrote: > ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2001 13:07:08 -0400 From: Alex Stepick Subject: Add-in Error I upgraded to Word 2000 and then tried to put in the Endnote Add-in following the instructions in Endnote's Help for manually adding them.

You've asked several different questions, and raised a somewhat complicated issue. You don't have to go over to the library if the library has structured its web site in such a way that you can access data bases from elsewhere on or off campus. Since different data base publishers place different constraints on the library, you will find that some data bases may be available only in the library, but most will at least be available elsewhere on campus. You are at URI, and I just checked the library's web site. It codes each of the data bases so that you know whether it's accessible only to URI people, to all, etc. That is a different question from importing. You need the appropriate connection files from EndNote, and you probably want to at least be aware of intellectual property issues, although that shouldn't be much of a problem if you are only importing citations. You should be able to get the connection information from the EndNote documentation. Hope this helps.

Dear Marsh We need to know your field of interest, to determine whether there are public databases which will work. In science, it is easy to use pubmed/medline thru the Endnote connect interface (be sure you have the latest PubMed/NLM connection file from the Endnote website), which does not require a license or password. I don't know if other fields of study have similar, publicly-accessible databases which interface with Endnote. Leanne -----Original Message----- From: Marshall Feldman Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2001 9:49 AM Hi all, Virginia Benjamin suggests using our local universities' electronic databases to look up journal articles. I'm relatively new to EndNote and am wondering, do I have to go over to the library to do this? In other words, assuming my university allows me to access its databases electronically, what's the best way to get EndNote to import the search output? Sometimes I've managed to download records (generally from Melvyl, not my own university) in text format and then import them into EndNote. It would be much better if I could use EndNote's connection facility.

Dear Sandy, 1) Try compressing the reference library using WinZip or a similar program. Maybe then it will fit onto a diskette. 2) Upload the file (preferably after compression) onto an Internet site like My Yahoo and then download it onto your laptop. 3) Using Direct Cable Connection (built into W95 and W98) or a similar program, link the two computers to each other and transfer the file by cable. 4) Burn your library onto a CD-ROM 5) Use a program that splits file to get the library onto several diskettes. The same program can reassemble the parts on your laptop You will then have two copies of the reference library on two computers which cannot easily exchange large files. In the long run, this is unsatisfactory. You may want to look into better solutions. For instance, there are small devices you can hang onto your key-chain that will carry several Mbytes of data, but they require a USB port. Finally, my preferred solution would be to split the library into two or more. EndNote can handle several libraries at once.

RE: Date: Tue, 7 Aug 2001 10:09:55 +0000 From: Ian Robert Douglas Subject: it lowers my "a"'s and "the"'s! I just spent 8 hours formatting my 1500 entry bibliography; pretty fast, considering. Now I have one more problem. I'm tweaking a "style" to fit my liking, but for some reason I can't figure out why it puts "a" and "the" in lower case in titles, like this: O'Neill, John, 'the Disciplinary Society: From Weber to Foucault', British Journal of Sociology, Vol.37 (1987): 42-60. If the article were called 'Disciplinary Society', it would retain Title Case, .... but for some unknown reason it lowers "A"'s and "The"'s I have checked the original reference and it is capitalized there. I also have noted that in the Style "Templates" section "Title" is capitalized (which I presume means it should be capitalized when exported or previewed). So I can't figure why it does this. Any clues anyone? ian http://www.powerfoundation.org wherever you are is the entry point, -kabir Dear Ian; There are two things I can think of that you might check or do. EndNote is doing the grammatically-correct thing, though that may not be what the journal wants. [A pet peeve of mine is the increasinly frequent journal title style where only the first word is capitalized ;-) ] First, look under File/Output Styles and edit the style you're using. Look further down the list under Bibliography/Title Capitalization. It may be set to "Headline Style" and you may want it to be "Leave Titles as Entered." You mentioned the original entry seemed to be capitalized. The other thing I can think of, but I have never tried it for that purpose, would be to look under Edit/Preferences and put The, Of, etc. in the list of words or acronyms for which case should not be changed. I don't know if this would work or not. I hope this helps. --Mike Michael R. Schock Chemist Water Supply & Water Resources Division, MS B-24 National Risk Management Research Laboratory, USEPA 26 W.
