Installing EndNote and Cite While You Write
Tips for using EndNote on the Mac
Don’t save libraries with the “package” option (.enlp) – This has been known to cause problems in previous versions of EndNote regarding terms lists, groups, etc. Best not to use this option.
“My toolbar has disappeared” in the library/record window – Double-click the oval button in the upper right-corner and the toolbar will reappear.
Applying bold, italics, underlining, etc. to text in a record – There are no buttons for Bold, Italic, Underline, etc. in the toolbar. Instead you have to go to the Edit menu and you’ll find those options.
Direct Export: Use FireFox – Safari on the Mac does not support Direct Export. This is due to security settings in Safari.
The Thomson Reuters company tends to create new versions of EndNote first for the PC and then for the Mac. So there is sometimes a lag of a few weeks before the Mac release.
The Mac version performs and looks similar to the PC version but there are some differences. The controls for the Mac are available from the EndNote toolbar. EndNote for Mac does not Direct Export using the popular Safari browser; the Firefox browser is recommended instead.
