Author: Leanne (Authority) Date: 11-19-2009 03:44 AM have you tried listening to this demo on youtube?  It covers a number of key steps.  And If you edit your apa 6th, does it include the citated pages field? (the one I downloaded for windows does).

Author: drossi147 (User) Date: 11-19-2009 03:54 AM I will check out youtube.  I determined that the citation output template in APA6 in Endnote uses the "Cited Pages" field from the Pages 09 Endnote search screen NOT the Pages field from the record.  But I figured out how to change that in the template definition.   However, I still have the challenge that the search screen doesn't show any field that differs between my many entires for a single book.  I created a separate record for each reference by page.

Author: drossi147 (Regular) Date: 11-19-2009 01:47 PM Thanks for your response, Leanne.   So let me formulate my use case like this, and please instruct me how best to deal with it.   I have a book with several citations I plan to use.  Each citation is related to a supportive topic in my dissertation.  Therefore I have encoded each on with a code I made up, say A1, A2, etc.  This code enables me to locate and use specific citations in my dissertation as needed.   Where do I track the code and specific page for each citation if not in Endnote?   If I maintain a single reference for the entire book then, use the Cited Pages field, I loose that connection to the specific cite.  I would think it better to maintain that connection in Endnote.  Of course I can create that connection in a spreadsheet, for example, but that seems unneccessary since Endnote is a database driven application.   So my real question here is how does the Endnote product manager, and other hard core users, deal with this use case?   Again, thanks for your time in responding.

Subject: Re: How do I get the Pages field to show in the in-text citation using X3 and Pages 09? Author: drossi147 (Regular) Date: 11-19-2009 02:20 PM I just spoke with technical support.  Very professional and knowledgable fellow.  Basically he made clear that Endnote does not manage intra-book citations, like quotes, for example.  Therefore I plan to maintain this in a spreadsheet.  I am very interested to learn how others manage this.  In my case, I will maintain three fields for each quote:   1. The actual quoted text. 2. The page of the quote. 3. The supported point in my paper that the quote supports.   Then I will enter the Cited Page for each cite in the paper.  Endnote will not maintain this bit of key information therefore I must manage it outside of Endnote or Pages 09.   As a 30+ year software systems designer and developer, I would think Endnote would be the best place to manage intra-book citation data.  But, hey, who am I?  Just a user...

But if you're asking me, there's a page in the APA manual which provides a list of major, well-known cities that do not need to have the state included in the reference.  One such city is in your example:  New York.    So for your book when you come to the "City" field in the EndNote book reference, all you need to enter is:  New York  (not "New York, NY") . Due to the APA list of exceptions, the state (NY) is unnecessary.

Subject: Re: How to handle multi-part aristocratic names? Author: johneast (Enthusiast) Date: 12-15-2009 10:28 PM I can't suggest any neat solution. EndNote was set up to format references in scientific publications, so it assumes that the name is something like "George Villiers Buckingham, Jr."   That explains why the references format correctly in the bibliography, because EndNote is formatting them as if the name was: Buckingham, George Villiers, Jr.   But it doesn't work in the footnote, because EndNote is formatting them as if the name was: George Villiers Buckingham, Jr.

Subject: Re: How do I combine multiple biblios? Author: John65 (New User) Date: 12-31-2009 11:08 PM Hi Leanne: Thanks for your quick input. You and I have not corresponded in years but I'm back in the writing business and have returned to EndNote. I now use X2 but I liked the older versions that were easier to work with. I no longer know how to "unformat" as you suggest but I don't think it would work in my case. I submitted an artcle to a journal that accepted it contingent upon my making some adjustments and adding a few items. I did this but instead of having the citations anf references integrate themselves into the original document, they began a whole new sequentially numbered system and the added references now appear all the way at the end of the article, behind the tables and charts. I may have to fix this manually because the field codes or whatever they're called no longer appear in the copy returned to me by the publisher. Perhaps they use some sort of software that filters this out. Any other ideas?   Thanks and nice hearing from you after all this time!   John Coleman

You mentioned "at least", so if you have three or more people using different OS, wordprocessor, or Endnote version, this woudn't work.   If I were you, I will assign one person who is experienced using Endnote, and ask individuals to create a library that contains only references used in individual documents (section), and attach with the unformatted Word document. From there, the person takes care of merging sections, and section bibliography formatting. This method put a burden on one person, but relatively straightforward and trouble-less, IMO.

Subject: Re: How do I prevent bibliography from appearing automatically? Author: Leanne (Authority) Date: 01-17-2010 06:16 PM On the document you are working on, you want to disable CYWY.  This is accomplished by running the format paper tool and on the third tab, "disabling" CYWY. Then you may have to delete the reference list, because unformatting doesn't always remove it. You can re-engage it the same way later.  To turn it off for any new documents you create, you turn off CWYW from the endnote CWYW preferences in Endnote itself.

"   This is somewhat puzzling as it was created in Endnote X2 and I have not stripped the field codes....   S.

Thus I have been a little in the dark as to how some functions operate. However, using your suggestion to format the bibliography and then create the travelling library it worked a charm. Many thanks for the help...

Subject: Re: How to italicize only part of title (not the Chinese characters)? Author: tc2008 (Regular) Date: 02-03-2010 02:52 PM You would probably need to divide the title into two fields, one for the Latin characters and one for the Chinese characters, and then edit the output style accordingly.

Subject: Re: How to italicize only part of title (not the Chinese characters)? Author: Leanne (Authority) Date: 02-03-2010 03:29 PM I thought that if you did the formatting in the field of the record it would override the style's formatting, but testing that, didn't seem to work.   In which case, I would edit the Reference Type to create a field for  the Chinese portion, move that to the new field (or you could use another field already there, that you don't use for any other purpose) and adjust your style sheet to include this new field in the appropriate placement (with the appropriate "link adjacent text" for the spaces and, "forced separation" so the extra spaces don't show when there isn't a Chinese part of the title).  If you can't get it to work quite right, post the style here, and one of the user group can tweak it for you.    If this is a rare occurence, I would just fix it before submitting though.  The publisher is probably pretty adept and correcting these minor formating problems in the proofing stages too.

Subject: Re: How to make "et al" appear in in-text citations in APA 6th Author: Leanne (Authority) Date: 02-05-2010 02:33 PM yes. for example, here is mine, which gives the italicized et al.  I also include the view of the settings.    Other things to check, that the authors are correctly entered in the record, one to a line.   Oldham, G. R. Cummings, A. Mischel, L. J. Schmidtke, J. M Zho, J.   But Endnote 8 is a pretty old version and was buggy to boot, so I would upgrade if it is with-in your power!    (This is a version ENX3 style, but I think they are still compatible).

Subject: Re: How to make "et al" appear in in-text citations in APA 6th Author: ahaake (New User) Date: 02-05-2010 03:18 PM Many thanks for your reply. I had not actually written each author on one line, but instead separated them with commas. Splitting them to one line per author now created a new problem: Endnote now cites all authors in the text. So now my citations say (Oldham, Cummings, Mischel, Schmidtke, & Zhou, 1995) - instead of (Oldham, 1995). Obviously made a difference, but still no et al...    Have attached the things you required. I wish I was able to upgrade, but I am just a fairly poor PhD student studying a distance course, so I probably have to try and sort it out without the upgrade, unfortunately.     Let me know if you have any other ideas, given the new circumstances above.    Thanks again!

Subject: Re: How to make "et al" appear in in-text citations in APA 6th Author: Leanne (Authority) Date: 02-05-2010 03:47 PM Progress!   That is because it is set (as I believe APA 6th requires) to show up to 5 authors if there are 6 authors or less at the first appearance.  If you want it to only display 2 (as Jones & Smith) and anything over 2 as Jones et al you will need to change that "6" to 3 in the First Appearance box.  (like it is for subsequent appearances).

Subject: Re: How does Z39.50 work? Author: johneast (Maven) Date: 02-07-2010 10:57 PM Authentication requirements for Z39.50 servers are set by the individual vendors, so they vary.   In my experience, CSA require IP authentication, so their connection files cannot be used from off campus. I think Gale is the same.   Proquest requires a username and password, and can be used off campus. You can get them to disaggregate your usenames and passwords, so that a particular username and password will restrict the search to a particular database (e.g. ABI Inform). You use the same connection file for all Proquest databases, but the username and password tell Proquest which database you want to search.   Ovid uses IP authentication. I'm not sure if you can get a username and password for off campus use. Ditto Wilson.   Ebsco will work on campus without authentication. Off campus, you need a username and password.     Thomson connection files require IP authentication so they cannot be used off campus.   In case of doubt, contact your vendor representative, although they often aren't very knowledgeable about Z39.50 and it may take a while for them to track down the person in their organisation who understands it.    And of course you can't use Ezproxy for authentication, so you have to find a mechanism for securely supplying the usernames and passwords to your users.    It's a complicated picture, and this probably explains why connection files are not as widely used as they could be.

Subject: Re: How enter Mathlab like formula into a title? Author: myoshigi (Guru) Date: 02-19-2010 01:05 PM Okay, I think I got what you'd like to do, but it's not a good idea to expect Endnote to take care of that. Endnote has been developed to format bibliography based on the format defined by output style (for journals). The output style defines what kind of font should be used for data from each filed (author, journal name, title, etc), but the entry of field data should remain as "plain" text. This is certainly a limitation in some cases like yours, and also for biologists wanting to italicize only words like "Drosophila" in the title, but developer doesn't seem like developing schmes to solve this kind of issue. It is just because how the software is meant, and that makes somewhat sense to me. I guess it is much better to handle math formula by Tex.

Subject: Re: How enter Mathlab like formula into a title? Author: GuenterJ (Visitor) Date: 02-19-2010 01:37 PM Dear Myoshigi, I only partly agree with You. As far as I think, Endnote wants to be "the best" reference managing program. That means to me that it should try to allow a identical copy of the reference information, including reproducing the title as it is. It should be not necessary to find work arounds to reach this goal in Your paper or whatever. I remember, how long it took until Endnote implemented Unicode characters. I found it a shame to see what kind of new features were implemented until Endnote8, which were definitely less important than the use of Unicode. And as long as I am not able to use Endnote in the way that I can reproduce a reference list as it should be and have to do additional changes in Word I think the program is missing something important.

Subject: Re: How enter Mathlab like formula into a title? Author: myoshigi (Guru) Date: 02-19-2010 02:05 PM I sort of gave up after 20 years (?) of dealing with this software since Nile&Associates era, and reached a conclusion that there are certain things Endnote can't do or things I cannot not expect them to implement. One example is the support for regular expression in the search term, like the use of wild card. I can't remember how many times I requested. I thought it is almost "must", but developers either didn't want to implement, didn't have time to develop, or other reasons prevented them to do so..I really don't know. It just didn't happen in the past 10 years or so.   But, that's just about myself. And, I'm not a developer, so I really suggest you to request them to consider the feature you want.

Subject: Re: How to italicise et al Author: Leanne (Authority) Date: 02-19-2010 02:35 PM What operating system are you using?  If Vista (and probably 2010?), ensure your preferences for the styles folder location is not in the Program Folder location, which is write protected int these operating systems.  It is recommended that you create a folder in your "user" space (Endnote likes to make the default as  the endnote/styles folder in My Documents) and edit the preferences folder locations to that folder.  I believe if you specify a folder that doesn't exist, Endnote will create it for you the first time you try to save a style.  Endnote looks in both the installed "styles" folder as well as the preferences defined folder to pull available styles and saves all edited styles to the preferences defined folder. Make sure you use a different name, or you will have two versions of a style and I am not sure how Endnote deals with that, and which one it displays.       As a big aside, I understand that since X2.0.1, users can also tell endnote to use a different location for the "default" connent files.  We are now trying this, so we can still keep an updated set of styles for our users, rather than having to replace those in their Program Folders as we identify errors or modifications in our style set.  Also, if someone asks for a style that others would need, we just drop it there for all users.    Jason pointed out this section of the manual to me recently: "Method 1: custom setting via command line. This method is applicable to most  of our users, who install EndNote by launching the installer. To install EndNote with custom content file folder setting, do: For EXE: ENX2Inst.exe CFDIR="<path_to_content_folders>" For MSI: msiexec.exe /I ENX2Inst.msi CFDIR="<path_to_content_folders>"   Method 2: custom setting via transform. This method is for site system administrators, who want the end user to install or deploy the application without user interaction. All they have to do is to update the value of "CFDIR" property in the Property table, save the transform, and create the group policy object to deploy the installer with the transform." (These transforms have been documented elsewhere - including manuals, I think - using tools such as Orca.)   In all cases <path_to_content_folders> should be set to the parent path of the content folders. For instance, if the Styles, Filters, and Connections are located at D:\Shared\Content\, then this should be used for CFDIR. This technique can be used for any user who wants to relocate the main content location for themselves or to share among a series of users (for a network share).   It can also be changed after the fact, via a registry entry - but this is better as a tech note since it requires access to local-machine registry settings which not all users have rights to change."
