EndNote Clinic – issues raised

Just to report back on a few questions to which I wasn’t sure of the answers in the EndNote workshop today:
Associated data files do automatically transfer when libraries are merged or references are copied and pasted between libraries.
There is not a limit on downloading from Ovid databases
The download from JSTOR in RAS is working ok.

Endnote and RAS (again!)

I have been asked several times about transferring files to and from a USB pen drive when using Endnote via RAS. It seems the solution is simple – you must plug the pen drive in BEFORE you start up RAS and it will then appear in the list of drives on RAS, with a $ sign after the drive letter. Please note that the drive letter for the USB drive will vary on different computers.

Numbered citations not appearing in consecutive order

If you are using a Word document which has citations inside of text boxes, EndNote formats the citations appearing in text boxes first. This means that your in-text citations do not begin with 1. The suggested workaround for this is to convert the text boxes to frames.
Right click on the text box which contains the citation and choose ‘Format’, then ‘Text Box’. Select the Text Box tab and click ‘Convert to Frame’, then click ‘OK’ to confirm the conversion. Now format the bibliography, this should solve the problem.
