Our office is moving from Endnote 3 to Reference Manager 10 (five shared
licenses), because Refman is self-metering on a network and Endnote is not.
The two products are relatively compatible, and it's easy to open a copy of
an Endnote library in Refman format.
My problem is: if a field exists in EN3 but not in Refman, the contents of
that field are automatically moved into the "notes" field of Refman during
the conversion. When we set up EN3, several years ago, we changed one of the
user-defined fields in EN3 to "label," and I'd like to keep the data in this
field separate from the "notes" data in the Refman "notes" field.
The answer, it seems, would be to move ALL the data in the "label" field in
ALL the EN3 records to another [currently unused] field for which Refman has
an equivalent, before making the conversion. But I don't see any way to do
this in EN3.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,
You should be able to export your EndNote references into the Refer tagged
text file. It'll look something like this:
%0 Film or Broadcast
%A Aanen, D. K.
%A Kuyper, T. W.
%A Mes, T. H.
and your user defined field should have its own tag. (I think the EndNote
manual should discuss the refer format to some extent). You can then import
the those records into Reference Manager with the Endnote-refer filter. I'm
not sure into which fields the custom field's contents will be imported, but
I imagine you can tweak the reference manager import filter to dump that
field's contents into whichever field you would like. I don't think you'll
be able to retain your record ID numbers though.
