I have many references from late 19th century and early 20th century journals which have an unfortunate habit of using the term “&c” instead of the more modern “etc”. Trouble is that Endnote 7.4 on OSX renders this as “&C” – note the capital “C”. Since there is no particular reason why Endnote should be capitalising the c, I think this must be a bug.
Obvious solution is to go to preferences/change case and exclude it there, but that doesn’t work.

Just a clarification - when you use Endnote’s “Change Case” feature you are i ncluding the given term to be specified in a particular way. So the Change Case entry in your case is: &c
It might be a bug to report but another thing or workaround to try is to include the information in MS Word’s Auto Correct setting:
Select File > Options (located beneath Help).
In the Word Options dialog box, select Proofing. Then click the AutoCorrect Options button.
In the AutoCorrect dialog box, enter “&c” and “&c” in the Replace and With boxes, respectively. (Maybe also include “&c.” and “&c.” as well.) Click the Add button then OK to exit. (Refer to attached image.)
