Hello, How do I change a Word document with EndNote references into text? One journal discourages use of EndNote because it doesn't play well with another program they use. If it can be changed to text, they wouldn't even have to know. Thanks! Shelley Arvin Science Information Center Indiana University Purdue University Fort Wayne 260-481-6502 /> ================================= Shelly; I've sent manuscripts to some journals who don't have problems with EndNote because they have authors remove the EndNote codes from the Word files that are submitted. Have you tried that? It's a little bit of a hassle for authors--since you have to keep your formatted version for possible future edits separate and manage multiple files. But it solves the problem for the journals I've worked with. It should be in the drop-down menu for Word Perfect under "Tools" , or in the button bar for Word (as the button with the arrow above the "[#]"). --Mike Michael R.

Dear Colleagues, EndNote 8 has come with a great number of additional fields. We are trying to adopt our catalogue and other database outputs accordingly. We used to use the EndNote tagged import options for this purpose. %0 ... %A.... etc. The list in the documentation is much shorter (look at the EndNote.pdf pages 164-165 [real page, not PDF pages]). We are puzzeling on what tags are needed for the language field and database provider field. Perhaps anyone of you has come across this problem already and found the solution. We are eagerly awaiting your responses. Yours sincerely Wouter Gerritsma For more info on our EndNote support look at: http://library.wur.nl/endnote ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

I, too, have been losing italics in footnotes (EN8 & Word 2004), but it has happened randomly. Of course, the one time I can be sure it will not format correctly is when I am turning something in on deadline. Anyone else? How about a fix? Robert Johnson Union Theological Seminary-PSCE Richmond, VA

There is another option. Like your first option, I keep all documents in a dedicated folder. However, I name each document with a successive alphanumeric code (eg T1, T2 for teaching, C1 C2). I insert the code into one of the EndNote fields (accession number). This method has the following advantages: 1. It does not take too much thought to name the document and even less time to type the name. 2. If I ever move the folder, I will still be able to find the document. 3. I can select and sort the documents easily. -- Dr Kevork Hopayian MD FRCGP Hon Senior Lecturer School of Medicine University of East Anglia -------on 21/12/04 7:00 am, endnote-interest-digest at wrote: > Date: Mon, 20 Dec 2004 14:00:47 -0500 (EST) > From: /> > Subject: Management of PDF documents > > Hi > I am trying to put together a short document on a few common issues with > EndNote, one being the management of PDF documents.

RE: Beth Allen's Post - Superscripting an author address notation in an EndNote output style It's relatively easy to modify the output templates to do some of what you want. Identify and copy a suitable style that does everything else you want. Select this. The EDIT > OUTPUT STYLES> EDIT "Chosen Style". Select 'Bibliography' in 'Templates' and use INSERT FIELD> AUTHOR ADDRESS to appear below the author names. The difficult bit is to match up the specific addresses with the authors by superscripting or similar. I don't think it is possible to fully automate this. However, for single authored works or for those where there is only one institutional address (varies by discipline, but usually taken together well over 50% of cases) the issue does not arise. Only where it does you would need to enter markers after the authors names. Here there are similar issues to inserting 'Jnr' or similar. (If you are only ever going to use one style it could be best to enter names as for 'corporate names'.) In the 'Authors Address' field you could insert a unique marker before the data using REFERENCES> CHANGE AND MOVE FIELDS> CHANGE FIELDS> INSERT BEFORE FIELDS TEXT. A single asterisk would not look out of place even if there is only a single author / institution. Subsequent addresses would need to be hand coded at data entry. Not a 100% solution, but a way of cutting out a lot of manual editing. I'd be happy to learn if anyone else has a better solution because this sort of task does crop up quite often.

I think he's talking about another approach but you're correct that the image field doesn't work (in the present Mac version). I posted something about this earlier. Instead it just replaces the contents of the author field with the name of the file which is a clear bug. Importing an existing file loses all the image field links. I'm VERY unhappy about this and regretting paying for the upgrade. For now I'm just using Office X with Endnote 7. I've been looking at BookEnds but not enough motivation to switch over at this point. Joe Date: Wed, 19 Jan 2005 16:40:30 -0500 (EST) From: Wiedemann, Subject: PDF accessibility John, I am not sure I understand the "link to PDF" bug. Does this mean that if I upgraded, the links in the "image" field are no longer usable? That would be reason enough for me to NEVER upgrade.

RE: Hardcopy files >From the beginning, I built my hardcopy files around the Record Number, giving each paper a Record Number and filing papers sequentially in, what is now, my six file cabinets (over 5000 hardcopies). However, since the Record Number can change, I duplicate that number in the LABEL field. I can search any field and, when reference is opened, the LABEL number leads me to the copy in the files. So far, my record numbers and label numbers are still matched. As with any files system, you have to be sure you refile the paper in the correct place, or it becomes "lost." Mac W.

I have created loose-leaf books that are labeled by subject and sub-topic. into those I file my paper copies of articles. I always capture the reference information in EndNote, but one hint I learned from this discussion is to assign a reference number to the paper copy and place it in a field in EndNote that I dedicate to that function (LIST was suggested). I use a custom field called MY LIBRARY and place a YES or NO in that field depending if I have the book or article on hand. That way, when I download a list to my palm, I only want the YES records, so when shopping for books, I know if I have the book (very handy in a bookstore). I was surprised that the attachment of PDF feature is not used more extensively by most. I have not tried it, and don't know what it would gain for me except a larger data file. Dr. Joel G. Cohn

We have a problem Houston.......... For those who use PubMed as a source for Medical Journals.......... PubMed has changed the was in which we must get the reference into an EndNote Library.......... You will find that one is no longer able to got to PubMed, pull up an article, choose from Dispaly drop down list "Medline", then from the Send to drop down list "File" and have it ask you is you wish to Open or Save. One used to be able to ask it to open, you would than specify what library you wanted, choose your filter and then it would open in your specified library. However now you can not do that. PubMed, according to tech support at EndNote, has changed its end so that now we have a few more added steps to obsticate our work. Know that, now, you have to specify from the Dispaly drop down list, Medline. Then go to Send to drop down list and choose file. In the dialogue box that asks whether you wish to open or save, you now must choose "save". Then specify where you want to save it. It was suggested to me to save on desktop. I did. Then you have to go to EndNote, click file, then choose Import, specify where file is, choose PubMed filter and then it will finally load into EndNote library. Amazing isn't it?? They have really taken the convenience out of being able to do this. However, it is still better than typing each reference. I asked what we can do about PubMed imposing this upon us. I was given the following as a means of contacting them and expressing my displeasure: One can go to Feedback site on PubMed. http://www.ncbi.nih.gov/About/feedback.html ---- it works. Or Phone at 1-301-496-2745 Or email at /> For those interested, I feel we should contact them and ask what they can do.......some sort of patch or whatever........to rectify this problem.

Hey, you are correct, old and automatic way of saving references don't work anymore. But my Mozilla browser gives me three options when I click Send to -button in PubMed : not only "Open it with default application" (which I used to use - earlier it opend EndNote but now Notepad) and "Save". The third option is: "Open it with..." and then I have possibility to browse EndNote.exe -file with Choose-button. Not so smooth as it used to be but still better than save-import-option.

Natalie and Judka, Thank you for your responses. I will try and incorporate suggestions. Helen, I think an explanation as John proposed for EndNote 8 and upgrade versions would be really nice for those of us who are not computer whizzes. In fact, had I read something like what John proposes, I never would have "upgraded" from EndNote 7 which I was more than happy with to EndNote 8 which I am not. I am also in communication with PubMed and of course, their first option was to point fingers back at EndNote but did promise to try and do something about the problem. Thanks everyone. Kath

Hi Everyone, I'm a new EndNote user, and have had many problems downloading databases through my university that seem similar to your's besides citation in text problems that I'm working out slowly. I'm using V5 as I'm a Mac 9 user. For both EBSCo Academic Search Premier and PsychInfo and ERIC (through Webspirs), when I download a text file (as required) into an EndNote libary, the year of the manuscript is missing from the data transferred except lowere down in "date"!

Hi, I have a reference in my reference list that is not in the body of the text. I can not find it to save my life. Any ideas? Tim Have you checked Field Codes in the Show section of Word's Tools-Options ? That ought to reveal where the ref is. ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security System. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

Hello, I have my default to the author/s and year (Smith, 2005) while I cite references within text. There are parts of the document that I need to cite only the year since I have the author's name within the text of the document. How do I change my default to allow me to do that?

Now and then, when I enter a case-name or other reference on to Endnote and try to insert it into a footnote, it appears and then immediately disappears. Is there a hidden code which is creeping in, or something else which is making it behave like this?

"table of predefined reference types" in a spreadsheet" I'd like to extend this question. You can also get to this table from within the program. (Edit > Preferences> Reference Types) Unfortunately you can only copy one cell at a time from that screen. Others may know if it is possible to crack into the preferences files themselves and copy this matrix which would be useful for all sorts of reasons. I think the location varies from version to version, and you would need to be careful not to change any parameters by mistake. I'd be interested to know if this is possible and what editor gives access. ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security System. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

Hmmm -- I've been getting Title twice in some cases in the same system, with the full title also appearing in the Short Title field although I've never deliberately entered anything in the Short Title field. Given the large audience for EndNote 8 and the disruption that would have been caused for ISI by the changeover to OS X, I have some hope that they'll eventually fix these and other Mac EndNote 8 bugs -- but I sure wish they'd get around to doing it soon. ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security System. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

I understand Dale's system except for one thing: the part where each paragraph/note when copied into Word appears with a complete citation and page number. The page number I understand: you have been entering that all along. But is there a way to automate the copying of the full or partial citation at the bottom of each paragraph/note. I work in Mac so maybe the Alt-2 command does this in PC?

I don't copy the full citation; I just insert the Endnotes field. Later on, as I use the outline to create an article, those fields are already in the proper format to create the final bibliography. As I said, I don't do any heavy duty library work...I just write the paper from the outline (or, to be more exact, from a portion of the "master" outline that functions as an organizer for several works in progress). If I DID want to insert the full citation, for some reason, an Alt-K/Alt-V would be the commands, but yes, I am on Windows. dale wrote: > I understand Dale's system except for one thing: the part where each > paragraph/note when copied into Word appears with a complete citation > and page number.

Will a bugfix release of Endnote 8 for the Mac be released first, like you did for Windows? I'm starting to reach the limits to my patience on this. The new version of Bookends is looking like a real alternative now that they cleaned up the interface. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 1 Apr 2005 15:42:41 -0500 (EST) From: The.Endnote.Team Subject: EndNote 9 beta test program We would like to invite members of the listserv to apply for participation in the EndNote 9 beta test program. Within the next few weeks, Thomson ResearchSoft will release the first EndNote 9 beta edition. We anticipate the Windows beta test program to run from mid-April through June. A beta edition of EndNote 9 for Macintosh OS X (Panther and Tiger) will follow, and we anticipate this beta test program to run from mid-June to August. We are especially in need of testers using non-English operating systems and/or word processors. Beta testers who complete the beta test cycles may receive a complimentary copy of the released version of EndNote 9. To be eligible as a beta tester for EndNote 9, you must fulfill the following requirements: Supported Operating Systems : Windows 2000 or Windows XP with the most current service pack OR Macintosh OS 10.3.6+ or OS 10.4.x Word Processors for Cite While You Write : Word 2000, Word XP or Word 2003 with the most current service pack OR Word X or Word 2004 with the most current service pack One or more of the following Word Processors to test RTF Document Scan : Apple iWork Pages - 1.0 WordPad - for supported Windows versions TextEdit - for supported Macintosh OSX versions OpenOffice - version 1.x Nissus Writer - Macintosh OSX version Microsoft Works - 8 StarOffice - 7 Mellel - version 1.x WordPerfect - version 10, 11, 12. Note that while WordPerfect will not be supported with an add-in, users may format documents using the rtf document scan feature. PDA (optional) : Palm OS version 4.x or later with serial or USB communication for HotSync operations and a minimum of 16 MB of RAM Internet access You must currently own a registered copy of EndNote or be an authorized user of a site or volume license edition at a participating institution You must be available to test during the entire beta cycle and submit detailed reports for each released beta. We anticipate a six to eight week cycle with three public betas. You must accept the terms of our non-disclosure agreement and return an acknowledgement of acceptance Before deciding to participate in the EndNote 9 beta test cycle, please keep the following points in mind. Beta software can be unstable (subject to crashes), may contain program errors and may not be functionally complete. We cannot guarantee that you will be able to use files created with the beta product in the production version. Do not use beta software with live data. We cannot stress this point enough! Please do not apply to beta test if you have a deadline looming. It is generally not advisable to run beta software simultaneously with a previous production version. All testers are required to submit detailed reports for each public beta. Testers that do not respond within the specified timeframe documented with each release will be dropped from the test and will not be considered for complimentary copies when the production version is released. If you wish to participate in the EndNote 9 beta test cycle, please click on the link at the end of this e-mail and submit the information requested no later than April 15, 2005. If you are selected for beta testing, you will receive an e-mail when the first beta becomes available.

I too made each chapter of my thesis a separate Word document but found a different solution. I formatted the references for each chapter then merged them in the following way. I cut and paste the references from each chapter into a database (a spreadsheet would probably do as well) with each reference as a separate record. I then used the sort function of the database to sort the references in alphabetical order (order of author). I deleted duplicates (the database has a function for that but you could do it manually with ease) i.e. the same reference appeared in several chapters. Finally, I exported all the records into a text document which became the references for the whole book. One very important point: back up after each step and keep copies of back ups.

"Let me inquire just once more: Anyone out there interested and competent to convert (or supplement) this email list as a Usenet newsgroup? I would volunteer to try this if I knew how, but I don't (though I think it's not too difficult)." In the major newsgroup hierarchies, there's a process of proposal, discussion, and vote, to get a group created. I guess comp.* is the right hierarchy: I don't know the exact details of the process there (the 3 groups I created were all in uk.*). It'll be something like: Post to a config group in comp.* a formatted-by-the-local-rules Request For Discussion. Post it also, or a pointer to it, to any groups that may contain people interested in the subject matter. Discussion (or argument...) for a few weeks, after which if sufficient support for group has been shown, name and charter are agreed, etc etc etc, issue a Call For Votes (also to other groups as for the RFD). Votes go to independent counters, and a while later you get the result. If successful, SomebodyInCharge issues a control message and newsserver admins choose whether to obey that (or not) to create the group on their server. Most would automatically act on a comp.* control message. Frankly it might be simpler to find somebody with a bit of spare space on a webserver, whack some threading message forum software on it, and try to get somebody nice to pay for a suitable domain name to point at it. Or you could do it on alt.* (where sometimes people issue control messages to remove your group, and not all serveers carry alt.* anyway), or maybe free.* (which not all servers carry). You just issue the control message to create the group yourself, on those hierarchies: which is why not all servers carry them: no regulation. ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security System. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

It is possible to get Word to sort a bibliographic list alphabetically. To do this, select the items you wish to be sorted, click on Tables>Sort>Sort by paragraph. Why Word choose to hide this valuable feature in the tables menu is known only to those who designed it. Makes it awfully easy to miss.

Leanne Wiedemann wrote re: Subject: RE: EndNote-Interest as a Newsgroup? I am game, but would have to get over a learning curve, since it is a long time since I worked thru a newsgroup. Is it moderated somehow? Leanne Some newsgroups are moderated, i.e., there's an elected (but volunteer) moderator to whom all posting are sent and the moderator decides whether to accept or reject them, on grounds of relevancy, freedom from personal attacks, etc.). The great majority of newsgroups aren't moderated. Without a moderator, some newsgroups, especially on broader or more controversial topics (e.g., misc.taxes.moderated), can attract a lot of spammers, irrelevant posts, and arumentative or ad hominem messages from unpleasant people. More sensible people either filter those out, or they leave and the newsgroup is left to the jerks. Newsgroups on a narrow selected topic, such as an EndNote newsgroup will generally do OK without moderation. A quick Google search on "Usenet newsgroups" brought up innumerable tutorials on newsgroups. One good one (there are many good ones) seems to be http://www.harley.com/usenet/whatis-usenet.html (It says that there are somewhere between 20,000 and 50,00 newsgroups at the minute!) I'm sure there are some "official" Usenet newsgroup FAQs that tell you what's needed to set up an official Usenet newsgroup, but I didn't dig down a little deeper to find them (I used to have the links, but lost them in the conversion to OS X). I believe newsgroups in the "alt.xxx" hierarchy, e.g. "alt.endnote" or maybe "alt.comp.endnote", can be set up with very little initial effort or bureaucratic work, and if successful can then evolve into a "regular" newsgroup. But if you (or someone) were up for making the effort, a regular full-bore newsgroup might be the better choice. Finally, current Digest readers who converted to a Usenet newsgroup would have to learn to make one shift in style: On newsgroups the courteous (and useful) protocol when responding to a post is to trim as much of the original post as possible, and ALWAYS "bottom-post" your reply (this may seem unfamiliar, but it's universally accepted, and it works). ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security System. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

Just to add one more voice, I would not use a newsgroup as often. Scanning the e-mails, and saving the ones pertinent to my situation is much easier. To add new software to my computer (as suggested by some) so I can access a newsgroup isn't going to happen, as our Tech Team controls what programs can be added. Please don't change the format.

Don, some years ago I had the very same problem. After much troubleshooting, I discovered a "section break" that someone had inadvertently placed in the document. That section break was killing EndNote. (This was EN 4 and Word 98.) Once I removed the section break, everything worked smoothly. Perhaps you have some random Word "code" embedded somewhere in your doc that's giving EN trouble? Good luck! Vera I have an MS-Word (2003) file of slightly larger than 20 MB containing all unformatted citations. When I run the Endnote formatting command, it is the case that Endnote quits (abnormal end) after a short period. Shortly after the abnormal end, MS-Word displays a dialog indicating that MS-Word has 'stopped responding' and will close the program (that is, MS-Word). Despite this, the MS-Word file doesn't appear to be damaged and will open without any drama. What might be producing these symptoms and what can I do to ensure that Endnote will be able to format the file properly? _don ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security System. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

Dear Eliza, First, a note of condolence. My entire department just bought Endnote--on my recommendation. I have been using the program since about version 2 and have had great success with EN7. My colleagues received EN 8, of course, and they have had no end of problems. None exactly like yours, but many similar things--fields that don't work, preferences that don't stick. Weird little annoying stuff. They too have done repeated installs to try to fix the problem. You are not alone. Second, maybe a little help. In at least one case, a student was able to fix most of her buggy problems by repairing permissions. In Applications-->Utilities, open up Disk Utility. Select your hard drive and click repair permissions. To be really clean about it, uninstall EN8 first, then repair permissions, then reinstall EN8. Hope this helps. --Nathaniel On May 3, 2005, at 2:00 AM, Eliza wrote: > Hello, > I just spoke on the phone with someone in tech-support, but I wanted to > make sure that this problem gets registered and gets fixed. > I bought Endnote 7 in June 2004 when I bought my new G4 laptop and > Microsoft Office 2004.

Hi All I have a quick question about Endnote's connection to Z39.50 servers or external libraries. When I used EN version 7 I did not have a problem. Since upgrading to Version 8.02 (I am still using Windows 2000 and Office 2000)I get numerous error messages and cannot use any remote library catalogue for searching. For example when trying to access the British Library I get the following Error Message: Error: Domain name not found. Verify the server address in the connection file And Web of Science: Error searching for records. Message from remote server: Windows Error: 12029. Message: "A connection with the server could not be established". Is this a common error please? Are we as Endnote users restricted to only university Library catalogues? Many Thanks ALL Regards Darren

HELLO, YET ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH ENDNOTE 8 WHICH I HOPE YOU'LL FIX AND SOON.... The problem happens in the process of inserting multiple citations into footnotes (using the MLA output style). When Endnote 8 tries to format these multiple citations, the formatting is messed up. What happens is that the formatted citations are separated with a semicolon but then NO space. This happens when using EITHER the method of continues delimiters and separating each reference with a semicolon and space, OR the method of separating each reference with separate delimiters and no space. A) Thus, if the unformatted citations look like this... {Ginzburg, 1999 #449; Gliboff, 2001 #601; Goldwert, 1994 #208} OR like this: {Ginzburg, 1999 #449}{Gliboff, 2001 #601}{Goldwert, 1994 #208} B) The formatted citations come out looking like this.... Carlo Ginzburg, History, Rhetoric and Proof(1999);Sander Gliboff, "The Pebble and the Planet: Paul Kammerer, Ernst Haeckel, and the Meaning of Darwinism," PhD, Johns Hopkins University, 2001;Marvin Goldwert, "Otto Rank: The Bridge between Freud and Jung-- A Study in the Organic Evolution of Depth Psychology." Mentalities 9.1 (1994). As you can see, a SPACE is missing between each citation. AND the most annoying part is that if you add the space BY HAND, Endnote 8 REMOVES the space when you update your citations or go back to unformatted citations and then back again to formatted citations. And there appears to be no way to fix this template-problem in the preferences or output templates. PLEASE fix this SMALL problem-- I know this must be a REALLY minor programming-error, but it causes MAJOR headaches for us USERS of the program who paid significant money for this program. PLEASE HELP US!!!! Thank you!! Best wishes, Eliza Slavet p.s. has anyone GONE BACK to using Endnote 7 after beginning to use Endnote 8?? I'm seriously considering going back- though Endnote 7 had its own set of problems, at least it worked (even if it often crashed and required using British-keyboard-setups in order to insert accents and umlauts...) If I do this, I will have to UN-install both Endnote 8 AND Microsoft Word 2004. AND THEN I will have to RE-install Endnote 7 and Microsoft Word X... a big headache.... any ideas?? Or warnings?

Re: Turning "on" CWYW in an "old" document. I recently upgraded to version 8 (Win 2K, Word 2000) from version 7. Learning from my experience upgrading to version 7 from 6, I unformatted the citations in the document I was working on before upgrading and then formatted the citations after the upgrade. No problems there. In the CWYW preferences there is a radio button for "Enable instant formatting on new Word documents". This does allow CWYW to work for new documents - but what about the document I am in the process of editing? Is there a sneaky back door way to convince Endnote that the old document is new? I would rather NOT cut and paste the old document into a new one if I can avoid it - but I do like not having to look at the {source code} citations.

Dear Greg There is no 'sneaky back door' in order to convince EndNote that the old document is new ... Simply use the 'front-door' and proceede as follows: Using the Microsoft Word menu: 1. Choose Tools/EndNote8/Format Bibliography 2. Select the tab 'Instant Formatting' and click the button 'Enable'. The 'Instant Formatting' functionality is enabled for the document you're working in. Of course you can also use the Cite While You Write Toolbar. In that case, you click the third button 'Format Bibliography' Best regards Mariël Volckaert www.ResearchSoftware.nl | mailto: /> www.esdnow.com | mailto: />

I purchased originally a copy of Endnote 7 and received a copy of EN8 free of charge as it was released within 12 months of the original purchase of 7. Therefore with all the problems that have occurred with version 8 is there any chance of free upgrades to version 9? Regards Darren Caven-Quantrill Part-time PhD student

Marc, This is a limitation of MS Word (-thank you Microsoft for assuming german authors never write english texts-), irrespective of the choice of document language. When you have german MS WORD, it's "Abbildung" and "Tabelle", your stuck with that. I didn't manage to hack it in the application itself with a hex editor. The only way to deal with this is to find/replace the words, as the last action before publishing your work. It may be useful to shift-command-F9 on the "Abbildung"/"Tablle"-fields (or on the whole, selected text, which makes the filesize shrink) beforehand. >Date: Thu, 14 Jul 2005 18:56:31 -0400 (EDT) >From: /> >Subject: Abbildung/Figure > >Hi. > >I have the following problem with Endnote 9 (I'm using it with a German >version of Word XP). >I got figures and figure caption inserted in the document correctly , >but the reference point is always "Abbildung 1" or "Abbildung 2" etc. >(which is the Gemran word for figure/illustration).

Hello Anna Marie Johnson, I just tested Endnote 9 and SFX version 3 which the University of Georgia just installed in production yesterday and SFX 3 worked fine with Endnote 9' s OpenURL link! I also tested Endnote 7 with version 3 and which also worked. I'm not a technical person, but I'd be happy to chat with your library tech person. Just to clarify: from your description, it sounds like the link in the SFX popup is not "hot" when one approaches it from Endnote. And I take it that searching one of your linked databases via a browser generates the SFXv.3 link which is "hot" (completely regardless of the Endnote record?)..

" When I import references, the font type was not like "Drosophila melanogaster", but "Drosophila melanogaster". Since Drosophila melanogaster is a species name, it should be italic. Then I tried to insert this reference into WORD, it still appeared "Drosophila melanogaster". " The font and typeface style are controlled by Word, UNLESS the EndNote output style sets them explicitly in which case it takes control, UNLESS the data in the EndNote library is formatted explicitly in which case that takes control. Normal importing to EndNote from other data sources does NOT keep any formatting in that data source, because the normal way of working with EndNote is to have the output style do the formatting. So, you need to switch to an output style that puts that text in italics, or remove the "this is not italics" formatting from the actual data, depending on which of the two is actually causing your problem. -- David Budd, Applications section, IT Services Kilburn Building, University of Manchester Tel 56033 Email http://www.its.man.ac.uk/applications ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security System. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

I have been using EN9 and have so far experienced not problems. I find it much easier to use and adapt to my needs. I know of someone having a similar problem to the one you describe though he did not have any version of EndNote in his system. It turned out that the problem was caused by the monitor. Replacing it, after testing the system with a different monitor, took care of the problem!

Word literally starts shaking, as if it is trying to shut down, and then every 10 minutes or so, while I am typing it crashes! Luckily I have set up Word to save every one minute, but still this is a disaster! Anyone else having the same problem, or any advise....? > >-Catheeja Ismail > > > ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security System. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

I am a consulting economist, and do a lot of writing for my projects - and I include lots of references. I had been using a different product -- Biblioscape -- it seemed economical at the time butI was constantly having trouble that proved to be not so economical with my time. I have been using Endnote for my last two projects -- it is a dream solution for me. I don't ask much of the program except to store my references and to serve them up when I need them and it works flawlessly - especially the Word interface. I only use the simplest numbered reference system since I am not sending the papers off to a journal.
