Is it really that difficult? Click on an existing reference for the journal
issue you are working on in the Endnote master list of references. Copy,
paste and edit. Change author, title, pages and keywords/summary. Close the
edit window. Repeat as many times as there are references to be entered. If
you"chain" the references this way, you can go through an entire issue of a
journal without redundant typing. Any new typing you would have to do as
well under the template scheme you propose.
