I need to create groups in my EndNote library for a document that has already been EndNoted, currently as multiple files, some with as many as 100 pages of references. I’ve googled and searched forums and the users guide but cannot find any way to do this. I can do it manually, dragging the records over one by as I find them in the lists but had hoped to be able to just create a group from the references lists I’ve already made. Is this possible? I’m using EndNote 9X.
Hi Leanne, thank you for your response. The library I am using is a shared library. When I have the EndNoted file open and the shared library open and update the references, it does not show any new groups related to my document. All I can see are groups others have created and one that I made when I was inserting multiple citations in the same sentence.
OK thank you. It looks like it won’t work for what I’m trying to do as the library is shared online and not mine. The ultimate goal of this effort is identify all the sources that have been cited for which I need to save the attached PDF files and then download those files in batches for a legal record. Organizing the records by group seemed the most logical way to do that and if I could have automated that process using the already created chapter and appendix files, all the better.
That wouldn’t result in duplicate records in the master shared library?
OK. In my case this will not work as I expect the list of cited documents to be possibly as many as 2000, and my hard drive will start giving me ‘running out of disk space’ errors if I download that many source documents from the records.
