EndNote

Upgrading to EndNote XI


Compatability

Windows

EndNote X1 will run on Windows 2000, Windows XP and Vista.
For word processing, it is compatible with Word 2000, XP (2002), 2003 and 2007.

Macintosh

EndNote X1 will run on OS X (10.3.9 - 10.4.x).
For word processing, it is compatible with Word X and Word 2004.

Installation

A common installation problem in EndNote is the non-appearance of the EndNote toolbar in Word. EndNote X1 has a new Configure EndNote Utility. Access this utility from the Windows Start button, by proceeding to the Programs menu and selecting EndNote. The Word Cite While You Write add-in files are now stored in a common folder at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Thomson ResearchSoft\Cwyw\. This will reduce problems for users who share a computer.

Folder Locations

A common problem that occurs in upgrading is that the Folder Locations in your EndNote preferences are carried over from the previous version. This means that you will still be accessing Filters, Styles and Connection Files supplied with the previous version.

To correct this click on Edit > Preferences and select Folder Locations. Check that the Style, Filter and Connection folder begin with the path: C:\Program Files\EndNote X1\.  If this path is not showing click on the Select Folder button to select the EndNote X1 folders.
