See the comment on my previous post for some information from a Mac user on alternatives to EndNote

I have updated the information on the Library web pages about using EndNote with Macs.

The comment below is the text of an email from a Mac user – the Library has no direct experience of the resources she recommends but she has done some exhaustive research on our behalf, thanks Lenette!

When I try to use the tools in Word I get an error message that says “Invalid Class String”. How can I fix this?

Please use the link below to go directly to the answer on the EndNote website, follow the instructions and you should be able to use EndNote and Word as normal.

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.

We have had several queries recently about whether people who use LaTeX rather than Word can benefit from using EndNote. BibTeX is a bibliographic tool which works with LaTeX in the same way as EndNote does with Word. You may need to use EndNote as a way of downloading references from online databases to then convert into BibTeX. Jenny Campbell has added a tip to our web pages which explains this in more detail.
