When in doubt, run in circles, scream, and shout ... or RTFM (Read The
Friendly Manual). Both the answer to the initial question and the neat trick
are all clearly described in the manual, in the proper place. (Btw, does
anyone know why computer manuals in general are chockful of split infinitives?
Must be the influence of all those programming languages, I suppose.) As
opposed to other manuals I could name, I found the EndNote Mac manual to be
well written and informative.
