Endnote X3 Problems

My endnote x3 has been unusable since yesterday (well, hadn't used it for a few weeks but was working on Snow Leopard before). Every time I open a library or even try to create one, it crashes. Have tried all other forums (official endnote and all) to no avail. Wondering anyone here can help me. The console gives following logs:

It works fine, not sure what you are referring to .

Section endnote numbering problems

I had been numbering endnote consecutively throughout a long document - but then discovered that I had to change to numbering them by sections. I've put in section breaks and used the document inspector to instruct the program to start numbering again in each section - but that isn't happening - though the numbers sometime do change in the text, they do not in the endnotes. How do I fix?

Reading through other posts about this, I have found that I have to add a section break in order to make this work, between the title page (1) and the real first page (2). But the problem is whenever I add a section break, it creates an entire blank page for the section break, so I end up with title page, blank page, real first page. Even if I have enough space, etc... every time I create a new section I get a blank page which I cannot type on or use, without deleting the section break and putting me back to square one.
My guess is that an object is embedded in your title page which fools the tool cuttting the document in pages because on my machine, it works flawlessly.
You may activate the "Show Invisibles" function which may help to find if there is an odd character embedded.
Does a section break always do this (add a new blank unuseable page)?
NO, here it doesn't
Just have it be a simple thing somewhere that allows the page (or section) to start at "0")
It would not solve the problem because it would display the number 0 on the first page which is not what you want.
It would not solve the problem for those wanting a numbering starting on page 3 (or on page 4 …)

Endnotes Wrap Problem

I'm formatting a book for someone in Pages 2.0.2. I'm using endnotes at the end of each chapter. Most of the endnotes are pretty typical short citations. However, a few of them are quite lengthy - a page or longer.
My problem is that when I create the endnote, instead of wrapping to a new page, the lengthy endnotes simply cutoff at the end of the page. Since I'm not the author, I don't have the option of simply paring down the length of the endnote. Why is this happening and how can I fix it so that the endnotes wrap to a new page if they're longer than one page?

My wife and I are both having the same problem using endnotes. Pages simply chops them off, thus it cannot be used for scholarly work that necessitates this feature.

Endnote Formatting Problems

I have a book that I'm formatting that has a lot of Endnotes - many of which are longer than 1 page in length. This is causing major problems with parts of endnotes being invisible and others leaving just 1 note on a page and the rest of the page blank!!
Is there any way to fix this problem?!

try the following code
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
DecimalFormat precisionTwo = new DecimalFormat( "0.00" );
System.out.println ( precisionTwo.format([Put your variable in here]) );best of luck

Endnote 9 won't launch in 10.4.6

MacBook Pro Intel core duo, 2gHz, 2GB.
Tiger 10.4.6
No previous version of Endnote installed
Dragged Endnote 9 folder from CD to applications folder. On launch (from original app, not dock), application icon bounces in the dock a few times then disappears. Thompson scientific claim the software is compatible with MacIntel and Tiger. Crash logged.
Attempted the following remedial action: Repair permissions and retry. Delete endnote folder and reinstall, repair permissions and retry. Remove endnote folder. Reinstall operating system. Repair permissions, recopy endnote folder to applications and retry. Same problem each time. No applications running at time no antivirus software running. Crashdump.crash.log copied below.

We have found the solution to our Endnote 9 problems on the Intel iMacs.
It will not run when you have installed from a COPY of the Installer Disk.
I cant explain why not. As we are a campus with an Endnote site licence, we use copies rather original installer disks. It took me a while to get my hands on the original ! But YAY, now it works.

Word endnotes renumbering in CS4 problem

I'm using Indesign CS4, and importing a Word file which has Endnotes set to restart numbering at end of each section. But when I import the numbering does not restart. So, rather than having Chapter 1, notes 1-10; Chapter 2, notes 1-5, etc. The notes are numbering 1 through 126.
I've searched online for a couple hours and can't find a fix. I've resaved the Word file as a .docx. I've exported the Indesign file as an .inx and then tried reimporting.
I'm a book typesetter and I don't usually have this problem. Any ideas?

InDesign does not support endnotes (and by extension, endnote renumbering). It imports endnotes as plain text.
That said, it seems to me it's an error that ID does not take the original numbering into account, even though it is converted to text later on. I think your best bet is on converting the endnotes to plain text in the original Word document.
Alternatively, you could convert the "notes" to 'semi-endnotes', using cross references. Bob Bringhurst explains it all in his blog: http://blogs.adobe.com/indesigndocs/2009/03/endnotes_in_indesign_cs4.html -- nearing the bottom he points out a script to automate part of it.
[Post-Edit thought] That assumes, by the way, you can restart the cross reference numbering at will. I haven't checked these out enough to tell top-of-head.

Problems with Endnote in Pages 5.

Hello!
I use Pages 5 to write my essay and I manage my references in EndNote X7. I installed the v. 2 plugin for Pages but I experience some problems with citations and bibliography in Pages. Firstly, the citations are not numbered correctly, as you can see in the first screenshot. I don't know if it is an error or not but the option "Manage citations" is greyed out. Do you know where the problem is? I'm running a MacBook Pro Early 2011, OS X 10.9.1, latest version of Pages and EndNote X7.
Thank you in advance.

A big problem with using endnotes in Pages 5

Unlike Pages 09 which worked flawless with endnotes functionality, Pages 5 has a big problem with the feature that maybe been addressed.
When I insert an endnote, I am prohibited from clicking the citation number at the end of the document which is supposed to take me back to the inserted citation.
Am I doing something wrong here or this is just another invaluable feature removed by Apple?
Please help!!!
Thank you.

It's not a feature I use much, so haven't worked at finding the flaws in the Pages 5 version, but going on just how badly Apple has done everything else in Pages 5 I am not at all surprised. It had problems from the beginning and Apple has take over 15 months to do frankly very, very little to fix anything.
There was much heated debate by certain people on this site who swore blind that Apple would fix everything.

Problems importing Word Doc footnotes/endnotes into Dreamweaver CS4

I am having a problem importing a Word doc with footnotes/endnotes into Dreamweaver. When I do the import (or a copy and paste) I get the references without the actual number for the endnotes in superscript!
I currently have Dreamweaver CS4 (though have also experienced this issue with Dreamweaver 8)
I am currently using Word 2007 (but experienced this same problem with earlier versions of Word).
The document has a standard sort of endnote. In the middle of the text there is a number in superscript that refers to a note at the end. When I do an import I get the nice set of back and forth references with anchors and links but missing the number! Let me copy and paste an example:
Here is the text I have:
the largest multilateral recipient of UK aid,[i] with the UK
[i] DFID (2010) DFID in 2009-10.
Now here is the HTML I get when I import:
the largest multilateral recipient of UK aid,<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1" title="" id="_ednref1"> </a> with the UK
And as an endnote:
<div id="edn1">
<p><a href="#_ednref1" name="_edn1" title="" id="_edn1"> </a> DFID (2010) <em>DFID in 2009-10</em>.</p>
</div>
<div id="edn2">
What I really need is:
the largest multilateral recipient of UK aid,<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1" title="" id="_ednref1"><sup>1</sup></a> with the UK
And as an endnote:
<div id="edn1"><p><a href="#_ednref1" name="_edn1" title="" id="_edn1"><sup>1</sup></a> DFID (2010) <em>DFID in 2009-10</em>.</p>
</div> <div id="edn2">
Does anyone know why these superscript numbers are missing? And how I can get Dreamweaver to put them in. I have long documents with 50 or more footnotes and would hate to have to redo this by hand!

The problem is that some of the material in the endnote/footnote is explanatory in nature rather than just a reference or citation. So I need a way to include explanatory text and don't want to put multiple sentences in ( ) in the middle of the text.
I would have to say clearly someone at Adobe did think conversion of endnotes/footnotes is a worthwhile endeavour, because Dreamweaver is designed to do it! You can see clearly from the code snippet that they programmed Dreamweaver to do an import with a very nice set of back and forth anchor references. Just somehow the actual reference numbers don't show up. In fact the HTML code for this provided by Dreamweaver is very clean and nice (contradicting bemdesign's assertion that you can not turn a word doc into a good HTML doc), with the exception of the missing number references!
Is there a setting somewhere that I might need to play with to get this to work better?? Or something I need to do with the Word doc text before I do an import? Any other work around.

Problem with Endnotes/Footnotes renumbering themselves-

While I suspect this is a minor bug, it is still frustrating. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.
I'm rewriting a rather lengthy document which uses endnotes (applies as well to footnotes mode). As I cut sections from previous version of the document and paste them into the new one, the endnote number acts peculiarly in terms of adding itself in correct order.
As I enter new references the endnote number assigns itself correctly (e.g. 5, 6, 7, etc.). When I cut and paste a previously used (and endnoted) text, the endnote first appears to be correct (e.g. 8), then jumps to another number (e.g. 27).
The only workaround I've found is to insert another endnote prior to the oddly acting number, copy and paste the reference, then go back and delete the oddly acting number.
I've noticed that even when I've done this, the new endnote number carries added spacing behind the superscripted number. If I try to delete the errant space, it deletes the endnote number. After I undo delete, the number changes from correct to an errant number.
Thoughts?
2Gb 2GHz iMac Dual Core, 1Gb 800MHz PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

These changes appear when I make any alteration to
the text in the area adjacent to the endnote
superscript. I do use a 3rd party input method (QIM),
but changing to another input method does not seem to
affect this problem.
Pity. I'm afraid I'm not able to help you much further. As no one else has answered and most readers here seem to use European languages, my guess is that there is a bug when it comes to double byte scripts. I tried reproducing it myself using ITABC, but it worked fine in that test.
I don't see how fonts or the Account might affect this, but you may anyhow want to try to test from another account with a different font, to see if that changes anything.

Having problem adding citations using endnote with pages 4

Help needed
When I go to insert and find a quote in my endnote library and hit insert it appears as if it has done something but no quote appears in my pages document however something is in there because it moves the curser along and when I press delete it acts as if it is deleting something.......wierd. Ive downloaded and installed the plug in and the same thing seems to work fine on my Imac.

If all your professors are using MS Office, then I recommend you should too. It is not realistic to think Pages will always generate word format docs the same way MS Office would have done so.

Can not use Endnote "manage citations" in Pages 5.0

hello there,
Is ther any way to modify the citation format in Pages 5.0? My Pages 5.0 has a function "manage citations" in edit - endnote citations, but unfortunately, it can not be changed to a format that I prefer (such as Amecian Antiquity). can someone help me out?

Probably but I can'r be sure, because it may require you to have EndNote installed.
Do a search on EndNote plugin + Pages 5 and see what you come up with.
I read somewhere that Apple has created a plug-in but it has problems, otherwise you have to purchase a full copy from EndNote and as I said that is not cheap.
If you previously had Pages '09 it should be in your Applications/iWork folder. Try that and it should still be working.

Creating a PDF from Word, endnote links jump to wrong page

I have a Word file with a large number of endnotes. In Acrobat 9.5.5 the endnote links jumped to the correct page. In Acrobat XI, which I just upgraded to, all endnotes jump to the wrong page. Somehow when converting the Word to PDF the calculation of what page to jump to is calculated incorrectly. Is this a known problem? I see other discussions on problems with endnotes but they are for different problems. How can I resolve this. I don't want to have to revert to Acrobat 9, but it worked.

Well I tried that. I set the printer driver to Adobe PDF. I then selected all text and hit F9 to refresh all links and saved the file and then went to the Acrobat tab to create the PDF version. Using the application and importing the file to create a PDF causes the same result. I can now see a pattern of what is happening. This has a large number of endnotes, 525. There are probably 30+ endnotes links per page. I noticed that all the endnotes links for the first page that has the links all point to the second page of endnotes in the endnote section (strange that it starts with the second page and not the first), then all the endnote links of the next page point to the third page of endnotes and it continues that way until the end.
Another way to describe this is that the first page of endnote links should point to endnote pages 1 through 4 but they all point to page 2.
I checked and all the links in the Work doc are linking correctly.
I wonder if version XI has been rewritten since version 9 and my case is too extreme for this version and it chokes. I'm trying to rebuild part of the file from scratch and see if the problem goes away since there is a lot of history to this file and it started at least at Word 2007. I'm using Word 2013 now and have converted the format to the 2013 level.
I've sent in a bug report but have not heard anything and talked to customer service over chat but they don't seem to care enough to pass this to development even though it's easily reproducible.
Thanks for your help.

Endnote X1 and Leopard

Has anyone tried using Endnote X1 and Leopard? I can't open any files ("the document blabla couldn't be opened"), nor can I create a new library ("Failed to create library").
Anyone any ideas if this is fixable?

Fixed the problem. Originally I had no problems keeping the Endnote files wherever I liked, however it now only works with the Endnote files in Users/Library. A bit weird, but I can live with it.

Endnotes for multiple files in book

I have reviewed several of the posts about endnotes and now am not sure which method to follow. I have a book file with more than 70 files. Each of these files [a chapter] has endnotes which are to appear all at the end in one chapter called endnotes. they restart numbering for every chapter [i.e. chapter 1 has endnotes 1-5, chapter 2 has endotes 1-9, etc]
The problem is that the text has already been carefully formatted and I don't want ot lose the formattign - so I cannot simply reimport the word file- which has the endnotes manually with numbers like 3, 4, 4.1, 4.2, etc.] I'd liek to make the endnotes dynamic as I must prepare teh document for Kindle and epub as well.
i mus t now insert the endnotes manually in each chapter - i know of the script to convert footnotes ot endnotes. But it is my understanding that teh script will place teh endnotes at teh end of each chapter/file. If I then try to copy these all into one file at teh end - I'm pretty sure I will lose the dynamic links.
I could try to do this using cross-reference but from what i've read it's pretty flaky across multiple documents and prone to crashing.
I could also combine all my separate chapters into one humongous file - using the "move" pages command.
This will be very tedious and seems to defeat teh whole purpose of the book but will enable me to use the footnotes to endnotes script.
Which is the lesser of 2 evils -or is there something else I can do?

Hmmm... if you're not using a script to do this conversion, you might need to do this by hand. Have a look at this tip I just wrote-up for a previous question. It might give you an idea. See: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5923811#5923811
In your case you'd only continue the numbering across stories, not documents in a book.
