Endnote experts - I find I need to import the references from a paper I wrote and published before I found the joys of Endnote Plus 2. As per the manual, I created a "more complete refer file" (pg. 381 of manual), a few examples from which are shown below. And that brings us to the problem. When I try to import the references that are stored in refer format, they all import into a single reference ! That is, when I choose File:import:refer/BibIX and select my file (which has 78 references in it), it gets as far as: "records processed: 1" then comes back with 1 reference in the previously empty library. When I examine that one reference, it contains ALL THE REFERENCES ! The Authors list contains all the authors for all 78 references, The volume number contains all the volumes listed, etc. etc. etc. ! I need all 78 references to be imported as indvidual records please ! The problem happens with both the stand-alone program and the Word Plug-in. Any suggestions ? Thanks for your help- -Malcolm I.

Just as a follow up to this, I tried something else, and it didn't work, so I smell a bug... I created a refer format file export (using the "~refer" style) from a valid Endnote Plus 2.0 library. It contained 17 records. They came out fine (looked like the refer format records I created), so I tried to re-import them into an empty library, and bingo, same error: ALL 17 RECORDS ENDED UP AS A SINGLE REFERENCE, with 30 some-odd authors, 17 different journals, etc. Niles, do you care to comment ? I am about to get desperate, since I am in the final hours of my dissertation preparations. TIA- -Malcolm I. Ross Rice University

Niles has agreed that this is a bug, and has a new version (2.0.2) which fixes the problem. It also provides Word 6 compatibility (sort of). Mark Whitney (mac-support@niles.com) was prompt and helpful with this problem. -Malcolm Ross
