I agree with Tom Ritch's suggestion: it indeed sounds like a very powerful option. If there were such a tool, I think I might be doing some "housework" in my keywords fields, which could definitely be made more consistant and more pertinent from time to time as my work evolves. Here are a couple more items on my wishlist: 1. More keyboard shortcuts (or the ability to customize them) : choosing fields in the find window, changing the reference type when creating a new reference, new reference in the edit journal abbreviations box. 2. A macro to insert today's date in the notes field. I use Endnote Plus 1.4 plus PIM on macintosh. Apologies if any of these requests are outdated. (I thought I had sent a change of address to Niles, but haven't received the newsletter recently mentioned on the mailing list. Please let me know if I need to send it again, Avi.) Thanks for the list, Julie Solomon Romance Languages University of Pennsylvania jsolomon@mail.sas.upenn.edu Tom Ritch wrote: > > 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.
