EndNote and Vista

Posted on 4 March, 2009 by Moira

There are known problems with EndNote X1 for people who use Vista and as we don’t have Vista on any Library PCs I am unable to test it. However, I am reliably informed by Chris Hicks that EX2 works very well with Vista and I’m copying here his comment on this: “I think X1 will be OK with the Vista 32 bit O/S, the problem is that it won’t work properly with Vista 64 bit O/S. My (64 bit) machine kept hanging with X1. Installing X2 was VERY straightforward, no problems what so ever and it works great. I can’t compare the features of X1 and X2 as X1 worked so badly that I was unable to use it!”
If you have a university machine running Vista then you can upgrade to EX2 by asking your School technician.

Endnote on RAS

Posted on 2 March, 2009 by Moira

At present, the EndNote X/Office 2003 combination is the one most people are using and which we are supporting via RAS. However, ISS are testing Office 2007 on RAS now, so it possible to use the 2007/EndNote X1 combination too. X1 is not yet visible as a separate piece of software in RAS, but you can access it via Word 2007. If you don’t see the Endnote ribbon in Word 2007, you will have to click on the Configure Endnote X1 link in the Bibliography Software or Library Resources folders. This will make the ribbon visible in Word 2007.
