Bug fix in 5.0.2
Author: Mike Maxwell    Posted: 11/10/2001 22:26:15 GDT
There is an update of EndNote v5 to 5.0.2, which fixes an annoying problem I was having in Microsoft Word2000. I haven't seen this announced here, so I thought I'd mention it in case others are experiencing the same problem. The problem was that Word's ScreenTips, which used to display in a sort of popup the contents of a footnote or comment when you rested the mouse cursor over the footnote number or comment, had stopped working in my Word2000. I traced the issue to an interaction with EndNote 5.0. There is now a bug fix for this, in EndNote's 5.0.2 updater. The website is http://www.endnote.com/support/enupdates.asp. Enjoy! (BTW, although I have installed the 5.0.2 version, and it fixes this bug which was not fixed with the 5.0.1 updater, the "Help About" dialog box in EndNote still says it's version 5.0.1.) -- Mike Maxwell Linguistic Data Consortium

I > traced the issue to an interaction with EndNote 5.0. I'm experiencing crashing of Word 2001 for Mac when screen tips appear. I use Endnote 4 for Mac. Could this be the same bug? I have consulted the Mac-Word list without any ideas forthcoming. But this sounds a promising lead.

Now I'm confused. I was having problems with Word 2001 crashing every time I tried to format citations. I called technical support and they had me download some files which fixed the problem. These are apparently the same files referenced below. But I also have the problem where footnote and other pop-ups don't appear in Word. These files haven't changed that, nor were they intended to, apparently.

I should have said "your milage may vary" :-). But all seriousness aside, since I updated to 5.0.2, I've tried adding new citations, formatting the bibliography, putting in new footnotes and comments, etc., and popups seem to work properly now. So if they were the same download files, and if Jim is running Microsoft Windows (as opposed to a Mac, say), I have no explanation for why they still don't work on his system. BTW, the file I downloaded is EndNote5Cwyw.wll, size 620,296 bytes, dated 11 October. I'm running Ms Windows 2000 version 5.00.2195, service pack 2, and Ms Word 2000 v9.0.3821 SR-1. EndNote was v5.0, which I first updated to 5.0.1, and now to 5.0.2 (although as I say, the "Help About" box still thinks I have 5.0.1--but I can testify that the problems with popups did not go away with the 5.0.1 update, only with 5.0.2).

Ahhh. You're using Windows. I'm new to this list and I didn't realize we were all lumped together like this. So I've looked at this update more carefully now. The one on the web does seem to be different from the one tech support had me download. The files on the web are date 9/25/01, while the ones I downloaded are date 9/5/01. So I installed the ones from the web (carefully setting aside my previous files just in case). It still doesn't resolve my problems with pop-ups. The interesting thing is that I was able to get a footnote to pop up after "unformatting citations", but when I reformatted citations the popups were gone again. I don't know if this is related but I use Word in "Document Map" view and I occasionally get crashes when I mouse over headings in the left column that are too long to fit in the column. The full heading will open as a popup but the box will stay white and the program will be frozen.
