Could you give an example of the format you use to insert text at the
start of a reference?   I'm using the plug-in module with Word 5.1,
and just spent a few minutes experimenting with backslashes in what
seemed like the likely places in a citation.  Endnote always flagged
the altered citation as not matching any in the database, so I'm clearly
not doing this correctly.  Some of the formats I tried are (using
square brackets in place of the citation markers inserted by Endnote):

     [\for example, Sverdrup, 1953 #810]
     [\for example, \ Sverdrup, 1953 #810]
     [for example, \ Sverdrup, 1953 #810]

In each case, I tried inserting and removing spaces on either side of
the backslash, all to no avail.  What am I doing wrong?

Cheers,
Joe Montoya

I'm afraid I goofed.  I really thought the latest released version of
the PIM did this, but the version I'm using is a beta of the next version,
so I'm really not supposed to be "disclosing" this sort of info
(although this certainly seems harmless enough (hope you agree, Avi
:-))).  Sorry.  

Sheepishly, 

Dan
