I've rewritten both the export format from Papyrus and the import format into EndNote as well as creating a way to import Papyrus Notecards into EndNote. I'm happy to send you a copy of the guide and the necessary files, but I have one or two 'i's to dot and 't's still to cross before I want to make it generally available. If you're interested, drop me a line. Have you spoken to Maggie Shapland at Bristol? She might be able to help you even more quickly.

Re: importing references field into a library

You have to perform a "find and replace" on your downloaded file of references so as to replace each line break with two line breaks, separated by a forward slash (/). The filter will import this file of references quite well, despite the extra line breaks and forward slashes, providing that the "Record Layout" option is not searching for a blank line between records. (There are plenty of other identifiers that you can use for the Record Layout). Also, you can use the Field Editing to remove forward slashes which will appear at the end of some fields (e.g. Pages). It would also be wise to have the filter import the REF field into a special field (e.g. Custom 1). After import, your references will still be in one paragraph, but there will be a forward slash between each one. You can now use EndNote's "Change Text" command to search for the slash in that field and replace it with a return. I will email you off-list with a filter that has been amended for this purpose.
