I'm not asking for change for the sake of change. I've posted my requests
for new features just like everyone else, and I won't bore you all with
repeats here. However, I feel that there are many significant improvements
to be added.

I'll cheerfully second both Marc Bizer's call for upgrades and improvements
and the comments of others that the Word module was a significant upgrade. 
I will also compliment Avi on her courteous attention to our suggestions
and helpful suggestions for specific problems.  I'll also take this
opportunity to repeat a call for more efficient indexing of large Endnote
databases.  There is an explosion in access to the literature.  If your
personal bibliography isn't at 10,000 yet, it won't be long.  I am sure
that the folks at Niles want Endnote to be a useful tool for those of us
with really big files. 

I am curious:  How about a polling of the size of the bibiographic
databases of those who read this group?  Mine is about 10,000.  I use
Quickindex of all fields.

I'm at 3080; quickfind only on the key fields.

Almost none of the entries are from CD-ROMs or on-line sources;
I've typed most of them in myself.

Occasionally I download records from Harvard's catalog
(hollis.harvard.edu) which can mail records in a format that's
pretty easy to translate into REFER format.
