Word 2008 Mac?

Greetings, I haven't noticed any comment here but perhaps I missed it. Will the current version of EN work with Word 2008 for the Mac which will be released next week? Thanks -C

No, at present :-( See the Endnote Product support page (http://www.endnote.com/ENMac.asp) about waiting for Apple Cheers Nicholas -----Original Message----- From: /> On Behalf Of /> Sent: Wednesday, 16 January 2008 2:46 AM To: /> Subject: Word 2008 Mac?

I'd appreciate hearing from other users about alternatives. Bookends? Sente? I'd really like to get the Intel version of Word going, and will need to convert my Endnote database.

(Yes, I realize this is pure opinion, but that doesn't make it irrelevant.) <opinion> One should not, in my view, simply decide to switch out one working, useful, well-known technology (EndNote, in this case) just because they'd "really like" to get some new, untested application installed. If, after touring a new version of Word, you really know that you can not do without some new feature (there can't be many more, Word already has too many), *then* start touring alternatives to the technology that you already know how to use (that is, alternatives to EndNote). When folks make decisions like this, whether organizational or personal, they end up with two new technologies, neither of which they know well, and work is stalled. I've seen it over and over. As Rumi said, "Take small sips of life." The same is true of computing environments: make one small change, see how things go, and then assess and proceed. Any way, I just don't think you're going to find a new Mac Word radically different from the present new one. EndNote will catch up to Word, of course, and that will be in plenty of time to fit very nicely with your new skills in a new application. Don't put the cart before the horse...which is entirely what I get from your above post. (Besides, nearly every professor that I've spoken with is prohibiting the latest Word version, until the ".docx" file opening problem is solved. So, we won't even buy the new Word for a year...and it's hard to resist at $62 university pricing. It just causes more problems than it solves.) Let things ride until you have an actual reason to switch up. </opinion> -- Gary

I'd also like to learn about alternatives. I loathe Word 2004 and would like to stop using it ASAP.

Office 2008 is so much nicer and more stable than Office 2004. Copying and pasting formatted citation in Endnote is worth the trouble. I usually used a Windows machine but when I started using a MacbookPro, Office 2004 was like going back 5 years. But 2008 is great. Hopefully an updated Endnote will appear soon. Patrick
