EndNote for Word 2016 for Mac.

I am not sure Mendeley have released a Word 2016 compatible version either.

You’re correct–the Mendeley plug-in doesn’t work yet in Word 2016. It loads, but not properly, and when you load Word, it gives an error message.

Probably, but they don’t charge $249.95+.

That’s not very good. We can only wait or get back to Office 2011.

I can certainly understand your frustration. We are working to release a working set of compatible Cite While You Write tools for Word 2016 as quickly as possible. In the meantime, please feel free to contact Technical Support if you need assistance getting a document formatted:

Hi All, 

I have done some work on a doccument in Word 2016 then come back to my older computer with Word 2011 on it. 

For some reason now, I can seem to get Endnote to work and it just inserts a reference 

{Central Intelligence Agency, 2015 #31} and no reference down in the bottom part of the doccument???

I can not find anywhere how to fix this, any solutions would be much appriciated. 

Regards Dave.

Word 2016 in itself is still very buggy. I recommend a few more months to work with Word 2011.

You need to go to the endnote ribbon/toolbar and toggle “Instant formating is off” to turn it back on.  You can also just make sure you “update Citations and Bibliography” which doesn’t turn it on, but updates the new citations (then you would have to do that again, if you added more.)

Endnote has released a new update (version 7.4); but not for Mac. How ridiculous!!!

However, this does not contain the patch for Word 2016 compatibliity. We anticipate this free update to be ready in Sept/Oct:

Can’t download.

I am using OS X Yosemite version 10.10.5.

Each time I have tried to download the update, after few minutes the updater shows-

“This updater was unable to find any copies of Endnote that could be updated to Endnote X7.4.”

So let me understand this correclty: you are expecting an unpdate in Sep/Oct (which really means november) by which time the updated version of Word will have been in the market for almost 10 months?!

You really don’t give a ***edit*** about your paying customers, do you? You are a disgrace.

Mendeley, Zotero, Qiqqa, Papers, Bibus, ReadCube, Citavi, Paper Pile, etc; at least some of those reference managers are free.

Same problem here.

Yet another demonstration that Thomson Reuters cannot do even something as simple as an “update”.

I wish to add my dissappointment to the inconvenience caused.

In addition, I opened up my endnote 7.3 for it to tell me there is an update waiting only to try and onstall and then tell me it cant find endnote to update.

That the…

This is hardly a professional approach for professional people!

Same problem here too… I tried updating Endnote X7 to verion 17.2.0.9970 and once I hit ‘donwload and install’, it got forzen. I had to force quit it to use it again. I’m running OS Yesemite ver 10.10.4…

I’m eager like the many other Endnote users to see the new update of Endnote that solves the compatability issue with Word 2016… I add my voice to theirs!!!

Don’t expect professionalism from TR; they are elite company, they don’t care individual users like us.

I can certainly understand your frustration. We do have workarounds that will allow you to use the Format Paper feature with Word 2016 in the meantime:

Our Technical Support Team would be happy to assist you with this process or if you are having trouble installing the update to X7.4:

The Final version of Word 2016 for Mac was released in early July:

https://blogs.office.com/2015/07/09/office-2016-for-mac-is-here/

Our plan is to have the free update available by September/October, which would be less than 10 months. At this time, some of those other applications you mentioned do not have a plug-in for Word 2016 yet.

Maybe they can make some sort of announcement…

Jason -

You would have avoided all of this had you been forthright at the beginning.  A simple statement like “we are aware of the preview, we are working on the solution, not waiting for the final build” months ago would have built tremendous goodwill.

Instead we got a defensive - “the final build isn’t even out”, with no word that you are working on a solution.

Transparency is the essence of building goodwill with software customers.  All you had to say is that the new structure required more work than anticipated and was therefore not ready at the time of the final build.  Right now it looks like TR waited until the final build before even looking at it, which makes them look inept, hence the vitriol considering the price and that we are forced to use it.

There are a number of bugs still in the old version.  Where can I report these so that they can be corrected?  Is the forums the right place, or should I just call in?

Take care,

John
