Attention Microsoft Word 2016 Mac version 16.xx Users!

I use myendnoteweb, the free tool of the EndoNote, and since the last update of MS Word (16.9) I lost the plugin. Can you help me, please? Thanks.

Yeah, what a waste of time. Spent a while installing Word only to realize my EndNote 7 isn’t even compatable. Now having to revert to the older version of Word (and spending more time installing) so I can finish an article properly. I don’t understand how you guys can be working with them on the development and then have them launch and be incompatable. 

Hi, 

my name is Thorn and I am also writing my PhD-thesis with EN X7 & Word 2016 (mac).

I want to echo what others have already highlighted:

It is important that there will also be a patch for the tens od thousands of people, who still use EndnoteX7 with Word2016 (mac) 16.xx.

Please make this happen asap!

All the best, 

Thorn

I agree with wirebound.

Waste of time and a significant cost every year just because of the word/EndNote couple.

I am tired of it. I am not buying X8 upgrade. I am switching to competitor…

I have now installed 8.2 and when I used CWYW in Word 16.9 on Mac I get the error message shown in attached file.

Please tell me how to fix this

Thanks

Simon

Just installed the latest X8.2 upgrade (Build 13302) which should fix the CWYW problem with Word 16.10, and the OSX High Sierra poroblem

But I still don’t get a Endnote/X8.2 tab in my Word :frowning:

I’m running

(Danish versions)

Mac Osx High Sierra 10.13.2

Word 16.10 (build 180120)

EndNote X8.2 (build 13302) - english verson

When I upgraded from X7.7 to X8.1, I did it as new installation

X7.7 english version worked well with Word 16.9 danish version, before I upgraded to Word 16.10, so likely not a language problem

What to do?

Update Endnote 8.2 and the output styles that I customized disappeared - MACBOOK

I updated word to version 16.9 and endnote crashed.

I updated endnote to version 8.2. When I opened word, there was an error saying that the outuput style that I was using was no longer available. And completely disappeared. It was an edition from other output style. Can I still restore it from my mac? Endnote is fully working, just not with my output style.

Thanks in advance.

I have recevied the same message for CWYW, I have shutdown and rebooted the computer, I have uninstalled word and reinstalled it and still recevie the same error . 

Would appreciate technical assistance to advise how to correct this I am using macOS High Serria 10.13.2 Word for Mac 16.9

Go into Endnote, click on the endnote X8 and then click on customizer and follow the instructions, you should get the tab in word then. 

I have just upgraded to 8.2 and word crashes everytime I try to add a reference in the text.

Just did it. No success… It ran something but my output styles are still missing.

After the update to Endnote X 8, 18.2.0.13302 The Endnote Tab doesn´t show up in Word 16.9. So your “Update” did´nt actually fix anything, it just got rid of the error message…

I followed advice from another thread to delete mendley plugin for word and the system is working for me now with a problem

What a pain!

I’ve isolated a few things:

  • If you update to the latest version of endnote on Word 15.41, everything works

  • If you then update to 16.9, it will stop working. The reason for this is that on 15.41, the bundle used was called  “EndNote CWYW Word 2016.bundle” (even with the latest Endnote update). However, if you install after you already have 16.9, the plugin is called "EndNote CWYW Word 16.bundle”.

  • Solution in a non-managed environment: reinstall the addins from the latest endnote (or copy EndNote CWYW Word 16.bundle from /Applications/EndNote X8/Cite While You Write/ and drop it in /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office365/User Content.localized/Startup.localized/Word/)

HOWEVER! this only works with English Office (afaik). IT DOES NOT WORK with for example Swedish system language set.

The EndNote X8.2 Mac Cite While You Write tools will load in Word 2016 version 16.9 while the primary system language is set to something other than English. However, our testing has revealed that Word 2016 will not load our add-in if the system language is set to Swedish, Turkish, Indonesian and Danish. We have brought this to the attention of Microsoft for them to investigate the cause.

this worked for me!

this worked for me - thank you

Hi,

I have upgraded to X8.2 (13302) and I then upgraded word for mac 16.9 (180116)

The CWYW tab does not appear in the toolbar.

I went to tools/templates and addins and the endnote cwyw is listed but greyed out. I then selected its check box and ok’d it.

It still does not appear and if word is restarted it is now deselected again in templates and addins.

The location given in templates and addins  for the file for endnote is OK and it contains the file EndNote CWYW Word 2016.bundle.

Can you tell me why this is not working please and how to fix it

Thanks

How do you set this up?

Dear all,

I think this message from Jason is a little misleading. It implies that Endnote has taken just a couple of weeks to respond to the latest release of Word. In reality, Endnote has not been compatible with World since 16.8, and thus has been out of action for many since late November 2017. I appreciate the Beta version that became available at some point in the meantime and thus allowed many of us to get by, but the fact is that a stable updated version has taken almost two months to appear. This is not the first time that Endnote seems to have been surprised by a new release, and has left users suddenly without functioning software for a few weeks. It would be great if it were possible for Thomson Reuters to work more closely with MIcrosoft and anticipate changes. Although I use various independent addon packages for various bits of software, I don’t have any other software that gets caught on the hoof like Endnote does.
