Problem
Author: Harry Hoffner    Posted: Tue, 26 Nov 2002 12:09:39 -0600
I'm using EndNote 6.0.1 Build 400 on a Mac iBook running Jaguar. Recently I've encountered a problem using Endnote with my MS Word X documents formatted with EndNote refs. When I use the Word Tools menu and try to invoke any EN command, I get the message This commandis not available because a document window is not active" What is the problem. I checked and the two EN plugin files are in the Office Startup folder, and EN starts when I open Word. Thanks -- Harry A. Hoffner, Jr., The John A.

Dear all One of our students is having problems when printing out a bibliography in EndNote 4. She has large image files in folios, all in the one library, and has printed a bibliography from these folios succesfully, bar one. This folio is printing only the last letter of the citation, but then occasionally will print the entire line. Can anyone help? Regards Annette

Problem with citation and style manager

Hi all, I have a problem with my citation in word. If I mark 2 authors in EndNote 5.0, vor example Smith, A. 2001 and Smith. A. 2002, in Word I see the following text: Smith, A. (2001, (2002). It should obviously be Smith, A. (2001, 2002). I tried so many things. Can anyone help me? Bye, Filip

I had some problems with Word XP : it crashed when opening. I have resolved my problems. 1) I remembered that I had installed a new software after installing Office XP. So I supposed a DLL conflict. I have uninstalled completely Office XP (from the Configuration Panel) and then installed it once again. 2) I have downloaded the SP1 then the SP2 then the patches from the site http://office.microsoft.com And now I am working Good luck Denis LIEPPE Universite Paris Sorbonne (Paris IV) Centre Roland Mousnier Denis LIEPPE

Filips citation problem
Author: Jason Gillespie    Posted: Wed, 11 Dec 2002 08:24:25 -0700
Filip; I think you may have a glitch in your output style. You may have to modify the citation, section of which ever output style you are using. This can be a little complicated so check the manual. Output styles are found under "edit" "output styles" in version 6. Check how endnote is producing your citations there may be an extra bracket in there you can just remove.

EBSCO ATLAS problem
Author: Bellinger, Charles    Posted: Wed, 18 Dec 2002 11:17:49 -0600
Someone may be able to help me with this. I'm trying to export data from EBSCO ATLAS to my EndNote software. I'm connecting to EBSCO via z39.50. The results I'm getting are labeling all journal articles as Books and the journal title, volume, and page information is missing. Has anyone encountered this and come up with a solution?

I just took a look at the Chicago A & B styles on my templates, which haven't been altered (although I am tweaking a copy of Chicago B into a house style). The spaces around the Translator and Ed field should be a special character called "Link Adjacent Text." It is a non-breaking space, represented on your screen by a little gray diamond, instead of the little dot that indicates a regular space. It acts like "glue" to make the text and punctuation that appears before and after a field "stick" to the field. If you use "cut-and-paste" in editing the templates, the special characters turn back into plain spaces. To put them back in, position your cursor in the correct place, click the "Insert Field" button in the upper right corner and select "Link Adjacent Text". The manual, help menu and tutorial all have information on editing templates which may give more help.

problem with in-text citations v9
Author:    Posted: Tue, 9 Aug 2005 12:26:24 -0400 (
There is a problem with in-text citations in v9 when citing different works by the same author. When the style used works like (Author, Year) instead of (Author Year) the different works are separated by ", , " instead of ", ". Has anyone find a way to avoid this problem?

A Problem with EN8 and Mac OS 10.4
Author:    Posted: Tue, 9 Aug 2005 12:26:24 -0400 (
Have just upgraded from using an iBook with 10.3.9 to a PowerBook with vanilla 10.4.0. On completion of manual transfer of files and applications have discovered that EN8 does not work! EN8 launches OK and you can open an existing database but you cannot: add a new reference; open an existing reference; or cite whilst you write in Word X. Have had to revert back to EN 7 which seems to work fine. Any ideas on what could be wrong or what I can do to get EN 8 to work as had been planning to move to Word 2004?

Reference Type problem et al.
Author:    Posted: Tue, 9 Aug 2005 12:25:14 -0400 (
Hi We have just upgraded from EndNote 6 to 8. I created a new Reference Type called Journal (I overwrote the Artwork default) with fields including Editor, Year, Journal, Secondary Title, City, Publisher, Volume, etc. While in the preview pane the record shows Reference Type: Journal (I edited the "Show All" output style), if I open the record it reverts to the Reference Type Journal Article and when I open the drop down menu of reference types to choose Journal, it just doesn't stick. Seems a bit buggy to me ... but I could have overlooked something. My second problem is that in the preview pane the keywords are listed one word per line. I want them to appear horizontally, separated by the semicolon delimiter -- this is the way they were set up in our previous version of EndNote. Also, the keywords all seem to want to start with an upper case letter, which I don't want unless the word is a proper noun. Is there somewhere to switch off the upper case for first letter option?

When the style used works like (Author, Year) instead of > (Author Year) the different works are separated by ", , " instead of ", ". > Has anyone find a way to avoid this problem? If the year is the same in both cases, you can avoid this by editing the output style. Under "Citations>Ambiguous Citations", change the "Letter format" setting from "2000a, 2000b" to "2000a, b". This will produce citations such as (Smith, 2000a, 2000b). It makes no sense why this should work, but it does. But if the years are different, I don't know of any workaround. I reported this problem to the Technical Support people a while ago. They said they were unawarare of it, but it's hard to believe that it was not reported during beta testing.

Keyword delimiter problem (unsolvable?)
Author:    Posted: Thu, 11 Aug 2005 12:00:54 -0400
* Re the keyword delimiter problem Generally one wants to have the keywords, or individual keyword strings, in the Keywords field in a reference separated by a "delimiter", e.g. a comma, in the form keyword-one, keyword-string-two, keyword-three where "keyword-string" is may be a string containing several words, symbols, and even punctuation. Some EndNote users may wish to use a different delimiter, e.g., a semicolon, especially if some of their keyword strings actually contain commas. In EndNote 8 for the Mac if you select the menu command Tools >> Define Term Lists >> Keywords Term List, there will be a set of boxes at the bottom of the window that opens which you can check to identify which punctuation marks you want to be delimiters for purposes of your personal Keywords term list. There is, however, an apparently unavoidable conflict in doing this. The problem arises if you want to create a bibliographic style -- for example, a style called "Preview Style With Keywords" -- in which the list of keywords for each reference is inserted into the bibliographic citation for that reference. You could then use this style when viewing the preview pane of the Library window, or when you print out a preliminary set of references, so that you can review just what keywords you have assigned to each reference. The problem is that if you have the comma, or any other delimiters, checked as your default keyword delimiter(s) as described above, when EndNote inserts the set of keywords for each reference into the bibliographic citation, for some reason known only to God and the EndNote programmers it replaces all of your delimiters with carriage returns (which are, as the manual notes, the default delimiters for keywords). In other words, all of your delimiters are gone, and each keyword appears on a new line in the on-screen preview window, or in the printed output. If you have a long list of keywords in an individual reference, this of course pushes most of them (and anything that comes after them) off the bottom of the screen. One can avoid this by leaving the commas, or other delimiters, in the Keywords field of each reference, but unchecking _all_ of the optional delimiters at the bottom of the Define Term Lists window. The keywords will now appear in the bibliographic citation display as one long string exactly as entered by you, including whatever delimiters or other punctuation marks are present. But -- the problem now is that EndNote no longer recognizes or thinks that you're using any delimiters in your keywords. As a result, when you import references from a database or update the keywords term list of your library from your existing references, what you think of as individual keywords no longer go into your keywords term list as separate terms. Rather the _entire_ undelimited keyword string in each reference goes into your term list as a _single_ lengthy term -- which is not helpful later on. There appears to be no way around this dilemma in EndNote 8. Whether it's been resolved in EndNote 9 I don't know.

I've now cleaned up my personal notes on the various glitches and hassles I've encountered in working with the Mac version of EndNote 8; attempted to prioritize them; and summarized them on a temporary web page at <http://www.stanford.edu/~siegman/endnote_gripes.html> I'd be glad to receive corrections or additions, preferably by direct email rather than just on the Digest. Apologies to Thomson if I've made any serious mistakes in these notes. --AES

Problem with citations
Author:    Posted: Fri, 26 Aug 2005 12:08:42 -0400
Hi I've been using Endnote for years, using the old system (cut/paste a citation, and then format the bibliography later). I've now started to use cite-while-you write, and am attempting to update a document where I previously used the old system. In this document, if I insert references, I get the old square brackets, and any edits to citations aren't kept when I format the bibliography. Cite while you write works fine in new documents, so I suspect my old citation insertion style may be causing the problem. Has anyone got any suggestions to overcome my problem?
