copying my references to excel

Hi everyone,

I’m new here and hope I might find help for a snag I’ve come up with… I’ve used the Tab Delimited style to copy my references and pasted them into excel. My columns are fairly organized, however sometimes the year and title data show up reversed in excel… the yeaer shows up in the title column and teh Title shows in the year column.  I’ve looked at the EN references to see if theyre different in some way than the references that show up correctly, and cant see anything… Can anyone help me correct this?

Thanks in advance!

Susan

If you can send a copy of the library or attach a copy of the library to the forum then I can take a look at why that is happening.

You can use the following steps to compress the library http://endnote.com/kb/82295

Hi Tony,

Thank you so much for getting back to me so fast— I’ve been working on this for days and I just figured it out!!! I’m so jazzed… I looked again, and it was the Journal Articles… I coulnlt see anythng wrong with  my tab and field set up, so I deleted the whole Journal Article section, saved and closed the style and then opened it and entered Journal articles again. It solved the problem!

Just asking the question seems to do it sometimes… Hope I didnt waste your time. I really appreciate your availblity.

Cheers,

Susan

Actuallly one more thing, if you don’t mind…

In my excel spreadsheet, Some of the author names are abbreviated so much that you can’t tell what they were originally… ususally just the first initial of a 8-word corporate author. Is there any way to have the full author name spelled out?

Thanks,

Susan

yes, put a comma at the end of the corporate name.  

Thanks all for your comments
