I used to use Endnote 8 with Office 2004 no problem. However we have recently upgraded to X2 and use it with Apples Pages. Our refs are all deposited in 'Papers" reference management database beforehand. However when we export all the refs in .xml (or indeed any format such as txt, ris etc) We CANNOT import it into X2.
The import function is never lit (and button doesn’t work). If we select ‘open library’ the only files we can load are the old ones with “.enl”. What’s more, even though it is X2, it says Endnote 8 at the top of the program when we load the old.enl databases. We uninstalled Endnote 8 beforehand already.
If we change the extension of abcde.xml to abcde.enl and open then the library is empty. What’s going on? This program cost us alot of money and we can’t use it!
