Converting an Endnote X library to Endnote 7

EndNote EndNote General
1

Hi all

I am in desperate need of help.  I have been using the trial version of Endnote X to write my dissertation - my advisor has asked me to make a bunch of reference changes.  Since the trial version has expired, I was able to obtain Endnote 7 through my lab.  However,
I am trying to import the Endnote X library into Endnote 7 with no success.

Basically I exported the X library as a text file (as per instructions on Endnote help) and have been trying to import it into a new library in Endnote 7 - I import it as a “Refer/BiblX” - and NOTHING HAPPENS. I am so worried I will have to input all 400 references again!

Thank you in advance

When you exported the library from X, which export format did you choose?

There should be a pull down menu in the dialog box, which pops up when you export. From that pull down menu, did you choose a right format? There may not be a Refer/BibIX export, but Endnote export may work, instead?

You need to check the tags are really matching up to do export/import job. I guess Refer export and Endnote export both uses %A kind of tags, so they may be cross compatible. If trial version doesn’t allow export anymore, you are stuck there. Sorry.
