Convert Endnote to Word-Endnotes

EndNote EndNote How To
1

Hi,

this question might seems a bit weird but is it possible to convert references created with Endnote in a Word document to Word-Endnotes?

The background is that I have a colleague with whom I share documents but he doesn’t use Endnote. And I don’t want to miss Endnote for creating the initial document.

I’m using Word 2007 under WinXP.

Thanks

Ralf.

What is Word-Endnotes? Can you elaborate more clearly?

If this is referring to the built-in bibliographic / reference capabilities that are part of MS Word 2007, then the answer is no. At least, there is nothing specifically in EndNote that enables Word to interpret EndNote-created citations and bibliographies. There may be something in Word that enables this.

It is possible to convert things going the other way - meaning that EndNote is able to convert MS Word-created XML-based citations and import them into EndNote.

Hi myoshigi. Please excuse, when the question was not clear. As Jason assumed, my question concerns exactly this built-in feature. My problem is that I cannot convince my co-worker to use EndNote and thus am stuck with the Word capabilities. As it looks like I have to convert the document by hand.

Thanks for your replies

Ralf.

I don’t know how Word 2007 works, but when I collaborate with someone who doesn’t use Endnote, I just provide the document unformated (in the curley bracketed form) with a Bibliography which includes the Record Number (I have a style that does that attached below), and unlink the fields.  Then I get it back from the collaborator to make the final version.  If they insert the word-endnotes, and Jason is correct, you can import their new references into your library.  You would then need to insert the endnote version, I guess, although there might be a way to convert them into Endnote readable format, thru judicious use of replace commands, if there were a lot?  getting them into {Author, Year} would be enough for endnote to bring up the likely suspects, to make it pretty painless.

I attached my style.  It formats with square brackets, just so the formatted references don’t try to get interpreted by the curley bracketed CWYW.  – When I go to reformat the unlinked field version, I need to change my preferences to the square bracketed option, and choose a new style.
