Export Customized Output Style

EndNote EndNote Styles, Filters, and Connections
1

Hello,

I would like to know if the Field Names are included  when I export a customized Output Style ? I have changed the labels of a few field names, and removed those which are not neccessary for the style and would like to share that with fellow students without updating the field names on each computer individually.

Thank you for help

In the help menu for Endnote X7 (I have the windows version), you will find the following instructions: 

Sharing Your Reference Type Table

An EndNote user can share a customized reference type table with another EndNote user. Keep in mind, however, that when you do this, you completely replace the recipient’s existing reference type table.

First, export the reference type table you wish to share:

  1. From the donor’s user account, start EndNote.

  2. From the Edit menu, select Preferences.

  3. Click the Reference Types option in the list of preferences.

  4. Under Reference Type Table, click Export to display a file dialog.

  5. Name the file, select a folder where you will be able to find it later, and click Save. EndNote will append an .xml suffix to the file name.

  6. Copy the exported .xml file to the recipient’s computer.

Then, import the table for a different user:

Note: Replacing another user’s reference type table overwrites all changes to his/her current reference type table.

  1. From the recipient’s user account, start EndNote.

  2. From the Edit menu, select Preferences.

  3. Click the Reference Types option in the list of preferences.

  4. Under Reference Type Table, click Import to display a file dialog.

  5. In the file dialog, locate, highlight, and open the .xml file that was previously exported.
