I agree with Mr. Haas, that a "mark/unmark" box would be a GREAT addition
to the next version of EndNote (Mac). It would also help to have pull-down
menus to specify DIFFERENT fields in the screen display, instead of the
eternal Author, Year, Title format. (I use Label for library call numbers,
and would like to sort records accordingly, on-screen.) To get such
features, I've seriously considered exporting EndNote Plus records to
TouchBase Pro, a contact manager that is a model of how a Mac database
interface should look/feel.

A crude work-around for "mark/unmark" is to revise the Reference Type to
include a field called "Mark", enter an x in the relevant records and then
Find them. Of course, you'd later have to erase all those x's, and they
won't screen-display, either....

By the way, TouchBase Pro also permits Global Edits of fields. A great help
when you discover that every call number needs an extra space, in order to
sort correctly!
