I’m using Endnote X2, OSX 10.5.5 and Word 2008 and I can’t insert my references into my documents. I get the error, “There are no references selected in the frontmost Endnote library,” which is not the case! I have tried re-installing, moving the *.dot CWYW files by hand, and tested it all using Word 2004 (also doesn’t work!). I saw this post:

Which contains the following, but there was no improvement. Any thoughts?
