new citation styles
Author: Peter A Nelson    Posted: Wed, 31 Jul 2002 09:14:35 -0400
I want to create a new citation style by copying and modifying an existing one. (I don't want to lose the original!) Under Edit>Output Styles> I can create a new style from scratch, or I can edit an existing style, but nowhere do I find an option or the means to copy an existing style to then modify. Any suggestions? Thanks, Pete EndNote 6 (Mac OS X)

Dear Peter, just open the style with Edit, and save it Save it as...new name, then edit the newly named style. "Peter A.

I don't have EN6 for the Mac yet, but you should be able to open a style and then select something like File | Save As to make a copy. Duncan --On 31 July 2002 09:14 -0400 "Peter A.

Any suggestions? Open the style you want to derive from, then choose Save As... from the File menu. Make sure you save the new style in the Styles directory. One of the nice features of EndNote's * Manager user interface is the ability to indicate if a connection, filter, or style has been derived from another, and add usage notes. As one who supports a body of EndNote users, and sometimes has to pick up after them, this is a good general approach to use for creating new connections, filters, and styles. If Save As... before making any changes, there is no risk of inadvertently modifying and corrupting an existing file. One user had modified a connection file, and it no longer worked. After 15 minutes of mutual headscratching -- because there was no obvious explanation -- I noticed that she had introduced a trailing space to the hostname of the server. ====================================================================== Selden Deemer, Library Systems Administrator PHONE: 404-727-0271 Emory University Libraries FAX: 404-727-0827 Atlanta, Georgia EMAIL: /> ======================================================================

We write protect the files, so you are forced to save as.
