I am having a problem with the EndNote Journals file and thought that I'd
share the problem with the masses.  I seem to have hit an upper limit on the
number of journals I can add to the Journals List.

Just in background, I (too) am compiling a yearly list of company publications.
To accomplish this, I query six different online databases (Dialog One-Search,
& remove duplicates); take output from each of the databases and "clean it
up" with a number of search-and-replace macros, then import each into EndNote.
Querying six different databases means that I can import references which have
up to six different Journal field formats (i.e. Clinical Medicine, Clin Med,
Clin. Med., Clin. Med, Clin.Med., Clin.Med).  As a result, the (EndNote
Journals) standardization file is extremely important because the bibliographic
output must be in ONE format.

Please, please tell me that there is a way to get more than 300 journals into
the Journals file.  I can't seem to find anything about a limit in the manual.
I promise to hang my head and feel sufficiently stupid and humble if the
answer is obvious.  (I promise)

And while I'm on the subject of journals, I thought I'd be clever and
export just the journal names into MS Word, sort them, and then be able to
"copy and paste" them into the appropriate journal cell; and avoid a lot of
tedious retyping.  Well, I was able to export just the journals and sort them,
but once I activated a cell in the Journal file, EndNote wouldn't let me go
back to Word.  QUESTION: Is there a way to go back and forth from Word (or
Excel) and the Journals file so as to save time and avoid needless retyping?

Thanks,
