[Papyrus-L] Anyone encountered this problem?

[Palmer, Mike]

Dear listserv,

 

On July 9, I sent a query to papyrus-l about conversion to Endnote as
posted below.  I also attempted to contact the papyrus help email
address, Endnote help personnel, and Dave Goldman directly. Nobody has
responded, nor even acknowledged receipt of my query (though I do
realize that many people are away in July).

 

 I suspect the reason for a lack of response is that either the problem
is a quirk that only I have encountered, or it is a general problem that
many have encountered but that nobody has yet solved.

 

So let me ask another question: Has anyone else encountered this
problem?  That is, when a reference is a thesis, does it get imported
properly into EndNote?  Do editions of books get transferred properly?

 

(this affects almost 1500 references in my bibliography, so I would
prefer not to have to edit them all by hand!!).

Subject: conversion to Endnote: problems with theses and editions

 

Dear listserv,

 

I have (reluctantly) converted my Papyrus bibliography to Endnote using
the conversion files and instructions given here:
http://endnote.com/support/enconversion.asp
<http://endnote.com/support/enconversion.asp> .  However, theses,
dissertations and books do not get converted properly.  For example, '%9
Thesis' or '%9 Dissertation' becomes concatenated to the title in
Endnote, and all information stored about the degree (e.g. MS, MA, BS
etc.) is lost or at least invisible.  Similar odd things happen with the
information about the editions of books.

 

Does anyone know a fix to this problem?

 

Many thanks,

 

--Mike
