Avi,

I love to make feature requests.  But I hate to request something already
on your lists.  Is it possible to print your list of collected "EndNote wishes"
to this group?  (Sort of like a ENDNOTE FAQ regular posting.)

Anyway, here are two feature requests to go into the queue.  The first is
that I would like to have an option to Find Duplicates that only looks at
the Label field.  Like many people I form a unique ID for each reference
as a combination of characters from the Author, Year, and Pages fields.
Unlike some, I use the Label field for this.  But when I import references,
I'm never sure what the Label is (or if its even present).  By finding
duplicate Labels, I can easily make sure my formated bibliography won't
contain duplicate references (when using the Labels as citations, instead
of using numbers).  This is also a nice way to find duplicate records in
EN since a typo in the author field (or "Tony" instead of "Anthony") may
cause two otherwise identical references not be be found with the
"Find Duplicates" command.

The other feature is an easy one.  I would like the option to use the
return key the same way as the tab key.  (And when a return is needed, such
as when entering multiple authors, I can use Command-Return on Macs and
Alt-Return on PCs.)  Since everyone won't want this, it needs to be a
preference setting.  But I think many people would like this option, so
I hope it makes your "we're working on it" list!
