Subject: Re: X3 and custom Word templates and styles Author: gshenaut (New User) Date: 08-11-2010 04:53 PM The only reason for my not wanting to redefine Normal is that as part of my debugging of my Word template, I wanted anything using or based on Normal to show clearly, since that would indicate a gap in coverage. If I redefine Normal, then it and Word styles based on it will look the same as all my other Word styles, which could potentially interfere with maintenance & extension of the Word template.   Incidentally, it is almost possible to fix the bibliography format via the layout pane, which can do font, spacing, and so on. The only thing missing from that is color. I need Text1, but Endnote uses Normal's color, which I've set to System Blue.   There are two functions of Word styles: to make things look a certain way, and to tag chunks of a manuscript as being of such-and-such a type. Even though the layout pane will (almost) make the insertion look right, it will not identify it as “ReferencesEntry” style. So a fully compatible solution would be for inserted bibliographic material to use its own Word styles, like EndNoteBibEntry and EndNoteBibTitle, by default based on Normal, but which could be redefined as desired. (Or so it seems to me FYIW.)

Subject: Re: X3 and OpenOffice - reference links cut Author: MikeV (Moderator) Date: 08-11-2010 10:15 PM I've never run across this issue where the cause wasn't someone saving their document in the wrong format.  It will happen every time when you save the document as a .doc file, but it should never happen when you save the document as a standard .odt file.    Insert some citations into a blank document and then right-click in the bottom left-hand corner of the window where it lists your page count.  You should see your EN citations come up in a list.   When you have saved the document as an ODT, then closed it and opened it again, what happens when you right-click on the page count area?

Subject: Re: X3 and custom Word templates and styles Author: Leanne (Mentor) Date: 08-13-2010 09:22 PM I agree, and some of the very early versions of Endnote used the "Reference" style, but that feature was lost somewhere along the way, probably because most users aren't so sophisticated in their use of Word template features.  It would be worth asking for this in the suggestions forum, and on the support suggestions page at endnote.com.  I would second the request!  (but then there would probably need to be another option to override any layout settings).
