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! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ William Howarth | Tel: 609-258-5162 Dept. of English | 22 McCosh Hall | Fax: 609-258-1607 Princeton University | Princeton, NJ 08544 | howarth@phoenix.princeton.edu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
