Can't save change to a custom output style

When I try to save a change to a custom output style, it doesn’t work. If I’m looking at the box that says “Save As” and my I type the filename and hit save; I get another identical box with the word ‘copy’ appended to my filename. And over and over again, if I hit save repeatedly.  The changes are not saved.  Help!

So why allow users to put their styles anywhere but in My Documents? One is given a choice, and there is no indication that keeping your Styles where they used to be–in the endNote program folder–is likely to be problematic. I have just found this fix after weeks of frustration! I hope this feature will be changed in subsequent versions of EndNote, and that you don’t keep mucking around with these settings (or at least provide a more informative pop-up box if people have the problem).

I had the same problem. Have you solved this problem?

Thank you for your help.

Leanne’s posting above describes the solution. If your situation differs could you provide more specific info such as the version of EndNote you’re using, your computer’s operating system and version, and version of MS Word?

Edit , preference , folder locations , see that the 1. style folder, 2. filter folder and connection filter is directed to the EndNote folder
