Hello,

I’m trying to create an EndNote filter that incudes issue as one of the delimiters as in:

Journal Title:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Imprint; Vol. 26, issue 2 (autumn 2001), p. 34-35;

When I type in issue it saves as Issue (upper case) and doesn’t import properly:

Journal Title:&nbsp;Journal; Vol. Volume, Issue Issue (Year), p. Pages; ISSN

Any ideas?

Regards,

Try putting quotes round Issue to force EndNote to treat it as a string of characters not a command. I think you need to use back quotes - like this `issue` not normal ones.
