What combination of OS X, Endnote, Word just WORKS?

“In case there is an issue with the “EndNote CWYW Word 2011.bundle” file on your system, you can try downloading a replacement for those tools. To do that you can download and install the latest EndNote Cite While Write Installer here. Once that has downloaded, Quit Word and run that file to see if it replaces the tools.”

That did not help, I am afraid.

" I would suggest trying this simple test.

Quit Word.
In EndNote, click the EndNote menu and select Customizer.
De-select the Cite While You Write Component and click Next through the screens.
When that is done, click the EndNote menu again and select Customizer.
Select the Cite While You Write Component and click Next through the screens.
Start Word and see if the correct items are now loading under Templates and Add-ins. If they are, you should be able to click OK and see the EndNote X8 sub-menu under the Tools menu."

No result from that, either.

BUT:

“If the issue persists, I would test with a new user account:”

I went over to an alternative account.

Word and Endnote worked just fine … weird. Word had the Word 2011 bundle and the Endnote CWYW commands under Templates and Add-ins, all set up and ready. I don’t think I had to customise to get there - it was like that when I got there!

So how can I get them to do that with my normal identity? Which is of course the one I need to work under!
