Import styles in word 2010 mac#
I tested only Windows versions immediately available, even I have most of old-older versions like 2.0 through 8 for both Mac and Win. All versions from 9 to X2 showed the same problem. If both lines of DP (YR) and SO lines were changed to 2010, year was not imported and became blank. When DP or YR lines are changed to 2010, and SO line has 2009, year was imported as 2009. Then, imported to temporary endnote library. So, I edited a text file, exported from recent Pubmed citations, and changed only the year in these lines, like changing from 2009 to 2010 in both DP and SO lines, or 2010 for DP line leaving SO line as 2009, etc. These filters use either YR, SO, or DP tags, and use smart parsing if either of them cannot import year data. All of them were the original filters came with each version, not the one modifed by myself. I changed date import tags of the following filter files: MEDLINE (Ovid), MEDLINE (SP), MEDLINE (OvidSP), Pubmed (NLM).

My tests indicate that all the earlier versions exept for X3 are not able to import year beyond 2010.

I tested several earlier EN versions for Windows to see if they can import 2010 appropriately from Pubmed using MEDLINE export and import by dafault filters (not by custom made filters or connection files).
Import styles in word 2010 upgrade#
When there are new features that I want because I perceive them to be useful, or that are required to be compatible with new versions of Microsoft Word etc, then I upgrade, but I really object to being required to upgrade in order to fix a coding error that the programmers made a few years ago. I keep a personal library now containing over 7,000 references that I use to manage reprints and write papers and grants. I’ve been using Endnote since the earliest versions nearly 20 years ago when it was simply Endnote with an add on program called Endlink which enhanced the program in some way which I cannot even remember. I agree with myoshigi that it is really unconscionable that Thompson Reuters would produce a product which cannot do the simple task of correctly importing a date of 2010 from Pubmed and then the fix is to force you to purchase an upgrade if you don’t have one of the most recent versions? I am using Endnote X.02 for the Macintosh and now unless I want to manually add the correct year of publication, I will have to upgrade.
