Output Style List corrupted?

EndNote EndNote General
1

Hi, Everybody –

Sorry in advance if this is the wrong subforum for this question.  I’m running Endnote X2 under Win XP SP 3.

I tried to change my desired Output Style about half an hour ago, and I found to my astonishment and dismay that my Output Style list is missing every entry between “J Chemical Ecology” and “Zygote.”  (I’m hoping that’s not some sort of oblique, cosmic warning or something to that effect.)  The contents of the dropdown box in the library window’s toolbar and the list in Edit>Output Styles are the same.  Obviously, _some_thing happened, but I’ll be darned if I know what that might have been.  I’ve looked at the Styles folder in my Endnote X2 installation and it looks to be complete – or at least there are half a zillion entries between “J Chemical Ecology” and “Zygote.” 

I have no idea what happened, here.  Is there some way to rebuild whatever Endnote X2 uses to generate the list of output styles?  I’ve tried exiting and restarting Endnote, but that didn’t have any effect on the problem.

Thanks a million for your time!

Did you check the EndNote Preferences setting to see if the “Folder Locations” for the style folder has the correct path?

Go to the EndNote toolbar, select EDIT, PREFERENCES.  In the Preferences list (see attached image), click to select “Folder Locations” then in the right column, check the directory path listed or use the “Browse” button to locate and select the EndNote Styles folder. Then click the OK button to save and exit.

Thanks, Leanne!  That was the info I needed.  I don’t know if it’s normal behavior or not, but it looks like every style was in the drop-down and in the “Edit Styles” lists.  I’ve fixed that and just put my “favorites” in there.   Sure helps to know what’s going on, I always say.
