endnote in Open Office
Author: Kathryn Talarico    Posted: Mon, 29 Jan 2007 14:25:00 -0500
Dear Listmembers: Has anyone on the list had any experience with Endnote and Open Office? I am going to get a new computer and I fear the new Windows Vista and compatibility problems. Thank you for any advice. Kathryn M.

> Has anyone on the list had any experience with Endnote and Open > Office? My experience is not with trying to *use* Endnote in OO, but with using Endnote in Word at the office, and opening the Word docs with OO at home. It didn't work--in fact OO simply deleted the Endnote fields that I had put in with Word. There is a bug report in on this, at the OO bug reporting place (I don't recall the link to that now). It's *possible* that OO would behave with Endnote if you saved the files in the OO format; I was saving them in Word doc format, because I needed to re-open them the next day at the office in Word. This was with OO v2.0.1 and Word 2003. Mike Maxwell CASL/ U Md

Hi, EndNote is able to format any rtf document, whatever the software which produced it (I'm using EN7). I don't think that an OOo toolbar is yet available, so "rtf document scan" would be the only way to use both OOo and EN. But you still have to work on a Windows computer or on a Mac (no other operating system supported) -----Original Message----- From: on behalf of /> Sent: Mon 29/01/2007 20:25 To: /> Subject: endnote in Open Office Dear Listmembers: Has anyone on the list had any experience with Endnote and Open Office?

How about saving in RTF? This usually keeps all the relevant info diama On 30/1/07 19:26, /> wrote: > Has anyone on the list had any experience with Endnote and Open > Office?

> How about saving in RTF? This usually keeps all the relevant info Unfortunately, I never thought of doing that, and I can't check this now, as I uninstalled OpenOffice and installed MsOffice. I do see some discussion over at the OpenOffice forum on RTF, so I don't know how well they behave together. Maybe someone else has tried it? Mike Maxwell

From my _very_ limited experience, EN works as well (or as poorly) with OOo's Writer as with any word processor other than MS Word, i.e., insert citations manually or copy/paste, format RTF docs. <0x0192>

Thank you to all listmembers for their helpful advice. I found the following link that might be of interest: Microsoft has a "Vista upgrade checker" which allows you to see if all your hardware and software is compatible with Vista. It's useful if you want to see if your software will work on a new computer (I'm not recommending upgrading systems to Vista!). It didn't see any problems with EN 9. The link is: www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/upgradeadvisor/default.mspx Kathryn M.
