My student has a paper that she has written in Word, using EndNote X. I have EndNote 9. Everytime I edit the paper, EndNote replaces her references with ones from my library. A travelling library would do the trick to prevent this I think, but when I try to export her library from her paper to a travelling library, EndNote 9 states that “the files is already opened and cannot be opened again”. I then get a message telling me that the export failed.
Am I doing something wrong, or is the a version issue?
Here are the instructions that I used, followed to the letter with a new library.
Open the document in Word.
- From the Tools menu, go to the EndNote submenu and choose Export Traveling Library.
2. On On the Export Traveling Library dialog, select either:
-
An existing EndNote library:
Select a library from the drop-down list of available libraries, or click Browse to locate a library. -
A new EndNote library:
You will be prompted to name and Save the new library.
