Help needed to import library (.lib) from Endnote 6 into Endnote X2

EndNote EndNote General

Hi,

Don’t know if this is the right place in this forum (I’m relatively new to this forum).

I have been using Endnote 6 (Windows) for a long time. Recently I switched over to Mac OSX and bought Endnote X2. I assumed that importing my old library should be pretty straight forward, but is isn’t. Please help!

I have a Endnote library on a Windows XP computer and have never experienced any problems when I had to transfer it to another computer. Recently I purchased a MacBook Pro (Leopard OSX) and also purchased the Mac version of Endnote X2. I assumed that it should be possible to import my “old” library.

I go to “File”, “Import” and select my library. (Import options: Endnote library; Duplicates: Import All; Text translation: No translation), hit the import button, but nothing is imported.

I cannot open this file in Endnote X2. It remains a bit grayish instead of full color (which you would normally have if you can open a file in OSX).

Thanks!
