ISI Announces the End of the EndNote Listserv

 

From EndNote-Interest List, 7 April 2008...

 

"Greetings, EndNote Discussion List Subscribers:

 

Thomson ResearchSoft has some exciting news for you. We are

transitioning this list from a traditional "list-serv" email format to a

new, web-based forum format.

 

This new format will allow for many great new features, such as:

*         Categorized & fully searchable posts to help you find what you

need more quickly

*         Easily accessible forum archives

*         Ability to post clickable links

*         Image posting for screen shots & other troubleshooting

purposes

*         Private messaging for "off-line" discussion

 

...and more! As before, Thomson Scientific Technical Support will be

monitoring posts for spam and abuse. They will also be offering

suggestions and solutions where appropriate.

 

Feel free to begin creating your accounts and logging on one of the

following two forums:

 

http://forums.thomsonscientific.com/ts/board?board.id=EndNote

 

http://forums.thomsonscientific.com/ts/board?board.id=EndNoteWeb

 

This list will remain active until May 7th, 2008 while we transition. If

you have questions about the transition, or improvements for the forums,

feel free to post them to the EndNote Interest-List or on the

Suggestions forum.

 

We hope you're as excited about these new options as we are, and look

forward to seeing you on our new forums."

MS Word 2008 for Mac NOT compatible with EndNote!

 

From the EndNote website:

"Word 2008 was released in January of 2008. No current versions of EndNote are compatible with Word 2008 due to changes in the way third party addins are supported. Until we develop a version that works directly with Word 2008, you would need to run "Unformat Citations" with Word 2004 (or Word X) and save the documents as RTF files (rather than .doc or docx files) and use the "Scan Paper" feature to work with Word 2008. if you no longer have Word 2004, contact our technical support team to assist in unformatting your citations. When we develop a version of Endnote that has CWYW compatibility with Word 2008, this page will be updated."
