Global editing is high on everyone's wish list, and I believe
Avi has said it is high on Niles' list of features to be added.
But in the mean time, or perhaps even after Global Editing is
built into Endnote, it might be nice to be able to edit your
library with a word processor.  The point has been made that
by exporting in Refer format, editing, then re-importing, the
original reference numbers are lost, making the edited library
incompatable with papers written before editing.  Here's a request
for a simple, quick fix:

Please modify the "Refer" format as read and written by Endnote
to include each reference's number.  If on reading a Refer file
a conflict is found where the number is already assigned, the
conflicting refs could be displayed in a window so the user could
pick which one to keep.  Writing a Refer field which has the ref
number should be no problem.  By giving the user the ability to
edit the refs in a word processor Endnote would give the user much
power.
