Hi I am using EndNote Plus v1.3.1 with EndLink v1.1.6 and am trying to import references exported from a SilverPlatter CD-ROM database AGRICOLA. I have used a customised Macro in WordPerfect 3.0 to cleanup the references. All the macro does is search for flags which EndLink currently doesn't recognise (such as LA:) and changes them to NT: so the following data gets imported into the Notes section of an EndNote reference. This works well and the references import fine BUT sometimes during an import EndNote hits a reference it can't deal with and freezes my Mac (a Quadra 950 24/400/CD running System 7 Pro). I have tried this with a huge memory partition (20Mb) for EndNote with no joy. I have also tried this with Inits/Extensions disabled.....still no joy. It is always the same reference which kills EndNote and if I cut that reference out of the text file things go fine and I can import the whole lot bar that 1 problem reference which I have to type in. Usually there is one of these references per 500-600 references that I download from AGRICOLA. The following is an example of a reference which I can not import into EndNote. I have tried saving this as a text file using both Word5.1a and WordPerfect 3.0, the result is always the same....it kills my Mac DEAD (I can't even do an interupt - have to restart). Can you have a go and see if it does the same thing to your computer, or if something obvious is wrong with the reference, please let me know. BTW, I am also REALLY looking forward to EndLink 2.0 which will recognise books, book sections etc. When will this be available and what sort of price are we looking at to upgrade from EndLink 1.1.6 ???
