I have never imported anything into Endnote+ by using Endlink or comparable
programs, so I cannot tell what their advantages may or may not be. I have,
however, copied and pasted a lot. The communications software I use
(Microphone II) allows me to copy text directly from the screen and paste it
into Endnote's records windows anywhere I please. That's not exactly a highly
automated process, but I don't know how useful an automated process would be
to a historian like me, who constantly runs around complicated bibliographic
references that don't easily fit into Endnote's prefigured reference types,
and who has therefore reorganized his preferences extensively. Logging on to
MELVYL, calling up a reference from CAT, displaying it in long format,
copying most of the screen into a new reference window in Endnote+, and
distributing the various parts of the reference to the appropriate fields in
the Endnote record is a matter of seconds. I find it a highly flexible and
useful procedure and have so far found no reason to change it.
