Wendy:
In addition to the noted problem that Endnote doesn't support Humanities
text, there's one other problem I ran into very recently in formatting my
Masters thesis.  If you format the citations automatically, you can't move
them around.  You sound like you're still in the process of organizing
your dissertation--I decided to list a few sources in an earlier part of
my paper and then spent a day pulling my hair out.  I eventually had to
save all the footnotes I wanted to change to another document, then save
it as text only, make the changes, convert back to Word document, and put
the footnotes back in manually.  I wrote to Niles and got one of their
(apparently typical) unsatisfactory explanations. I'd therefore highly
recommend selecting "copy formatted" for all citations, though this keeps
you from using Endnote to format the bibliography.  Which is annoying.
