The answer is NOT obvious, so don't be ashamed.

We are working on making the Journals file much more robust, larger and more
useful.


Special Power User Tricks Not Documented Elsewhere:

In the meantime, on the Mac, you can use ResEdit to change a resource in
more recent versions of EndNote Plus (1.2 and greater).  It's the STR  300
resource.  In it, The String contains the number 300.  You can change this
to 500, and EndNote will let you have that many journals.  You may have some
problems with journal files that are greater than 32K, though.

The current journal file editing is done in a "modal" dialog -- you can't
switch to any other window.

But, we do have another trick for editing the journal file.  If you open it
in Word, you will see that it is just a tab-delimited text file.  You can
edit to your heart's content (be sure to keep the tab structure).  Then save
it as a Text file, and EndNote will recognize it again.  You don't need to
sort in Word: EndNote will sort it no matter what.

PC EndNote Plus users can do this as well, again, being sure to keep a tab
between each column.  WARNING: saving files as text in PC word processors
can be problematic!  For instance, WordPerfect's default text format removes
tabs and replaces them with spaces (use the Generic Wordprocessor format
instead).  DIACRITICAL WARNING: if you have diacritical characters (accents,
umlauts, etc.) in your Journals file, don't do this!  The mapping of
diacritical characters is so complex that it's just not worth it.


Good Luck!
