Avi, this does not have to be the case even for bibliographies. Although it
was with great pleasure that I switched from ProCite to EndNote a few years
ago, I remember that ProCite had an option to change page after each reference
so as to be able to print a card catalog of the database (or subset of the
database). Sure, one can achieve the same by using search and replace
to add page breaks between formatted references produced by EndNote, but
this relies on the word processor's capabilities. Maybe instructions on how
to achieve this could  be included in the EndNote manual for users who
are less proficient with their word processor, or EndNote could have a feature
similar to ProCite (one must also be able to specify page size if one wants
to print on true cards) to make printing on cards (or 4 refs per 8.5x11 page
or whatever) feasible without resorting to a word processor.
