Thanks for replying Tony but you seem to have misread my post.
Firstly, I do not get a reference edit window. This is the problem.
I have attached a screen shot showing what I see with the view “Bottom Preview”
If I choose a view with preview (either bottom or right) I get three panes
-
TOP the references list
-
MIDDLE the fields of the selected reference - which can be edited but it’s a pain compared to how it used to work
-
BOTTOM: the citation preview
If I right-click a reference and choose Edit | References - I get only the PDF window (if there is no PDF attached I still get the PDF window but with a message “there is no PDF attached to this reference”).
The split views (bottom and right) also show the fields of the selected reference - which can be edited, but it’s a pain compared to how it used to work.
I have looked closely at all the Preferences option but none seem to refer to my issue.
Just to be clear:
-
previously, when I double-clicked on a reference, a window opened in which I could edit the reference fields … this is the way endnote has been working for years
-
now, when I double-click on a reference, the PDF view window opens, always
-
now, the only way I can edit a reference is with fiddly scrolling in a pane.
