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requests are outdated.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,
