Entering same information many times
Author: Jonathan Gold    Posted: 14/09/2001 00:50:17 GDT
Hi. I'm wondering if there's a way in EndNote to enter the same information many times. What I am doing is entering a bunch of reports and presentations from a recent Conference into our EndNote bibliography. Because all of the reports come from the same Conference, a LOT of the information fields (Place, Event, Date, and so on) are identical. Is there a way to NOT have to retype this information over and over? Thanks, Jonathan Gold Berkeley, California

You can use the clipboard (through the edit menu or the ctrl-c and ctrl-v keyboard shortcut) to copy and paste a "master entry" (maybe one with just the conference details, etc) and then just change the details in abstract or wherever. From memory, when you are looking at your list of documents in endnote, if you just copy and paste it inserts a new entry identical to the one you copied.

Why not copy and paste the first reference and then use it as a template for the others. That's what I do... >Hi.

There is a way described in the EndNote 5 manual on page 83. It involves creating a reference 'template' that contains all the information that does not change. Close that (incomplete) reference window, select it in your library window, press Control+C to copy and then Control+V to paste as many times as you need it. Finally, you simply fill in the gaps. I haven't tried it but it makes sense. Good luck, Joerg Quoting Jonathan Gold > Hi.

Copy the first one and paste it back in, then change the fields that need to be changed On the PC, select the line in the library, then Ctr-C, Ctrl-V. Voila, two of the same thing, then open the new one and change it. Hope that French, doesn't upset anyone! ;-) Leanne Wiedemann Stowers Institute for Medical Research 1000 E 50th St Kansas City, MO 64110 phone (816) 926-4052 FAX (816) 926-2009 -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan Gold Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2001 6:50 PM To: Subject: Entering same information many times Hi.

The only way I know of is cut and paste. I keep a listing for a conference open and just cut and paste into my new listings. I would be interested in finding a better way as well. -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan Gold Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2001 16:50:17 -0700 To: Subject: Entering same information many times > Hi.

Wouldn't it be so nice to be able to duplicate an entry, then go change pages or title or whatever single field that needed changing??? Is this possible without cutting and pasting each field?

If you are using endnote 4 and 5, there is the facility to enter data into a specified field in all references. Open the library you want to enter the same information into say Label field, Go to References | Change field | A box will appear with the choices In ........ Field Change Insert after field's text Insert before field's text Replace whole field Clear field In the text box to the right you add the information you want across all references. I hope this helps Vicki On 19 Sep 2001, at 10:40, Dylan Wiliam wrote: > Why not copy and paste the first reference and then use it as a > template for the others. That's what I do... > > >Hi.

All information is in the manual: change a field (already responded on the circle), copy an entry (reference) and paste it as many times, then adjust. This is the best way to enter the chapters of a collective book or conference for example. Suggestion : 1/ enter the reference of the book, 2/ copy and paste, change the type to chapter and adjust.
