Just ask the plug in module to "Unformat" the citation, and the file will be the way it was before. If you were using the program and not the plug in module, you should have the original, because the program create a second copy, the formatted copy, and leave the original intact. For the checking part of EndNote, the program check the citation number and the author and the year (I think! I know if one of them does not match, the program will tell you something). --------------------------------------------------------- Jean-Michel Lacroix, Ph.D., Visiting Assistant Scientist Department of Oral Biology, University of Florida P.O.
