EndNote comes with a couple of built-in import formats that can be used 
as general-purpose importing tools (our EndLink module can be used for 
general purposes as well) but there is no automatic way of simply 
importing a bibliography from an existing paper. You will have to do some 
editing to wrestle the bibliography into a shape EndNote can deal with. 
Essentially, this involves tagging parts of the references so that they 
will be imported into specific fields.

This is probably our most-requested feature.  We've done some work on the 
problem, and have found that most hand typed bibliographies are to 
incosistent to be imported reliably.
