Testing on Beta builds of Cite While You Write with Word 2016 for Mac has begun. Go to http://endnote.com/betasignup to get started. Let us know how the beta is working for you.
The Endnote x7 beta works great on my mac. But there is one problem I just found. If the “instant formatting” is on, inserting a citation will cause the collapse of the Word 2016. But, luckily, if I turn off the “instant formatting”, everything works fine. In addition, is there any way can I get the floating endnote window back when I am using Word 2016? It is very inconvenient for me to adjust the bibliography style.
I have replied to you privately by email with information on how to report bugs and where to find information about known issues and feature which have not yet been implemented.
I have downloaded the beta version of X7.4 for Office 2016. Can I install it if I don’t have a single user license of X7 on my mac? I have a license from my university. I really need to use the programme!
At this time, the Beta program is limited to single-user license holders only. I apologize for the inconvenience. If you have a site license of EndNote X7 and cannot obtain Word 2011 or 2008, you can use the Format Paper feature with Word 2016 as outlined here:
beta v2 was working fine until I updated Word to version 15.18. Now it crashes Word while updating citations and bibliography. A new fix is needed for Word version 15.18.
Endnote 7.5 Beta 2 is working perfectly fine for me on Word 2016 for Mac version 15.18 (160109). I’ve been using it for a few days now and I didn’t encounter any problems so far.
To Thomson Reuters: it is taking way to long to release this new patch. We were promised to have a solution by Fall last year. The beta has been out there for almost two months.
Since I really need to get my work done, I am seriously considering to try other options if 7.5 is not released soon (and I mean in a few weeks).
