There is NO substitute for checking EndNote entries individually. I always import into a temporary file and do a quick scan for names like van Duijn, El-Atraby etc. This also picks up the odd reference where there may be a field missing (eg anonymous report). Missing fields give scrambled libraries! Jean-Michel Lacroix has rightly pointed out that correct comma placement is the key to importing names. EndNote is a great product, but we shouldn't get too lazy: next thing we won't even bother to check or read the original articles!
