Microsoft Word 2007

IT Services are in the process of installing Office 2007 on all campus PCs; however the Thin Client Service will still continue to run Office 2003 for the moment.

If you create a Word document on-campus and then want to use it with EndNote from home (through the Remote Desktop Connection), you will need to save it in the 97-2003 compatibility mode.

To do this, click on the Office button in the top left of the screen and choose Save As > Word 97-2003 Document. Give your document a name and save as normal.

This document can now be used both in Word 2007 and Word 2003 which will allow you to use EndNote both on and off campus.

Using EndNote to search the Library Catalogue

Unfortunately due to the recent upgrade to the Library Catalogue the Online Search option within EndNote is currently not working. We will try to fix this as soon as possible.
In the meantime you can still get references from the Catalogue into your EndNote library by using the Import method:

• Carry out your search as normal and mark the records that you are interested in, using the tick box on the left
• Click on the eMail/Save option towards the top of the screen
• Under Record format select ISI ResearchSoft Tagged Output Format, then click Go
• Click on Save Selected and save the file as a text file.

Importing into EndNote

• In EndNote click on File > Import...
• Click Choose File... and find the file you have just saved
• Under Import Option choose Other filters... and select RefMan RIS, then click Choose
• Click Import

Your references will be imported into your EndNote library.

Saving an EndNote library to a new location

If you want to save your EndNote library to a new location (e.g. a USB stick) it is best to use Windows Explorer. You will need to remember to copy across both the .enl file and the .data folder for your library (both will have the same file name).

Note: If you use the File>Copy Library command within EndNote to make a copy of your library you will lose any groups that you have created.
