I agree with Mr. Haas, that a "mark/unmark" box would be a GREAT addition to the next version of EndNote (Mac). It would also help to have pull-down menus to specify DIFFERENT fields in the screen display, instead of the eternal Author, Year, Title format. (I use Label for library call numbers, and would like to sort records accordingly, on-screen.) To get such features, I've seriously considered exporting EndNote Plus records to TouchBase Pro, a contact manager that is a model of how a Mac database interface should look/feel. A crude work-around for "mark/unmark" is to revise the Reference Type to include a field called "Mark", enter an x in the relevant records and then Find them. Of course, you'd later have to erase all those x's, and they won't screen-display, either.... By the way, TouchBase Pro also permits Global Edits of fields. A great help when you discover that every call number needs an extra space, in order to sort correctly! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ William Howarth | Tel: 609-258-5162 Dept. of English | 22 McCosh Hall | Fax: 609-258-1607 Princeton University | Princeton, NJ 08544 | howarth@phoenix.princeton.edu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[..scary work-around deleted!] and Marc Bizer (mlbizer@BONGO.CC.UTEXAS.EDU) responded: > On the condition, Bill, that EndNote continues to allow us to select > references merely by typing the first few letters of the author's > name, a > feature glaringly absent from TouchBase! I would be thrilled if EndNote did what Marc describes, but on the version I use at work, only the first letter of the author's name gets used for the selection process. Typeing "go" moves me to "Ott" not "gorenstein". Has this been updated (from EndNote Plus 1.0 for DOS)? The mark/unmark feature would be terrific. Yes yes yes! By the way, I noticed (but missed) an earlier thread about a Windows version of EndNote. Could somebody update me? Thanks, -- Gregory W.
