Endnote and 2004 Student Edition

[Noah Jackson]

It doesn't look like 2004 student edition supports EndNote.
What a disappointment. Does anyone have any thoughts or
suggestions?

From the EndNote website
(http://www.endnote.com/support/en_wpchart_mac.asp):

Due to changes introduced by Microsoft in the newly released Office 2004 for
Mac OSX, EndNote's Cite While You Write (CWYW) tools are not currently
compatible with Word 2004. The tools will not automatically install into
Word 2004, and if manually installed they will not function. This is a known
incompatibility.  We plan to release a version of EndNote that is compatible
with Office 2004 for Mac OSX.

This is good news. Any idea when the expected release will
come out?

I've had not so good experience with them in the past... I fear it could be
"not too soon". I'm also afraid it won't be available for the current version
of EndNote and that we'll have to pay for a significant upgrade fee to have
acces to it :-\

Yeah, I was a little concerned about the careful wording of

We plan to release a "version" of EndNote that is compatible
with Office 2004 for Mac OSX.

As opposed to "a patch for EN 7"...

I think it might be time for me to give Bookends a trial, if Endnote isn't
up to snuff by the time I get Word 2004 in the fall. Bookends released
their patch for Word 2004 earlier this week! Since I don't collaborate, I'm
free to switch.

Office 2004 (#10): EndNote substitute; Word formatting; Entourage issues

Today we continue our coverage of reader feedback on Office 2004.

Bookends: EndNote substitute? We previously reported that the current
version (7.x) of the EndNote bibliographic software is incompatible with
Word 2004; on Monday, we noted that the developers of EndNote have no plans
to update version 7.x for Word 2004 compatibility. (However, they do plan on
releasing a new version, EndNote 8, at some point that is compatible with
Word 2004.) Over the past two days we've received emails from both MacFixIt
readers and Sonny Software that the latest version of Sonny Software's
Bookends "reference management and bibliography software" is fully
compatible with Word 2004 and can import reference data from EndNote. For
those users of Word 2004 in need of such software, Bookends may be worth a
look.

The problem is that I do collaborate with a lot of Windows users who
also use EndNote :-\ Beside that, there are several limitations with
BookEnd that prevent me from switching. I'm stuck :-(

EndNote have no plans
to update version 7.x for Word 2004 compatibility

Yeah I saw that. The least I can say is that I'm not delighted with them
:-( And it's not like it's the first time they do something like that
:-<
