I have been using Endnote X2 with Word 2007 on my PC running Windows 7 (64bit) successfully for a number of months. I have also used Endnote Web to back up my library.
Now the summer holidays are here and I have a break from my University studies I thought I’d learn a few more things about Endnote. In investigating Endnote Web I noticed a download to use Cite While You Write with Word 2007 and Endnote Web. My mistake was not reading and thinking carefully enough - I downloaded the plug-in and found I could use Endnote Web with Word. But afterwards I realised Endnote X2 did not work with Word anymore.
I’ve trawled the internet for possible solutions and have so far not found anything that works. I’ve checked Word - word options - add-ins and seen that CWYW is there. Also in the Endnote Web tag in Word I can access preferences but the option to select Endnote X2 over Endnote web is greyed out. Also within Endnote I cannot find an option to make Endnote X2 the default program to use. I even tried uninstalling the Endnote Web plug-in but it still didn’t do the trick. How can I get Endnote X2 to work with word again?
Any more information please ask. Also any help would be much appreciated.
I had the same problem when I downloaded the CWYW/EndNote Web plug-in. After installing, the EndNote/CWYW option was gone from Word. I couldn’t toggle between the programs. I have EndNote X4, Windows XP, and Word 2007. A colleague with the same configuration also had the problem.
The problem was resolved after running the repair operation that Jimmy described.
Can this issue be fixed? Or could a disclaimer be posted on the download page that installing the EndNote Web/CWYW package will mess up the EndNote CWYW?
I agree that there should be more explanation about the Endnote Web plug-in and it’s possible messing up with previous settings especially if you already have Endnote program.
