Endnote X1 "Unspecified Error" when Word 2007 comments open Reviewer Pane

Yep, I’ve got the same exact problem.  Seems to happen even if EndNote is not running (suggesting, perhaps a problem in the Word 2007 EndNote macros…?).

Anyway, what I did was simply go to the Office Buttion/Word Options/Add Ins/Manage COM Add Ins and disabled (by unchecking)  the ‘Cite While You Write’ add-in.  This fixed the problem so that I could address the comments. Then I can turn the Review pane off and the ‘Cite While You Write’ add-in back on to deal with references.

It’s definately a bug, and an unacceptable one as well.  Giving the generic ‘Unspecified Error’ is either sloppy coding or they have a catch-all error handle and EndNote is doing somethign that the programmers aren’t aware of.

Hopefully it will be fixed in a future release; it’s quite annoying.
