[Papyrus-L] Anyone encountered this problem?

[Raisa Deber]

As requested, I'm providing some additional information about this on  
list - Mike and Kan (our project manager) can give more details if  
required.  Evidently, the issue relates to how one formats/edits your  
import filters from EndNote (Edit/Import filters).  When you edit a  
particular filter you can specify what %9 variables link to within  
EndNote.   You modify/add these links in the 'Templates' area when  
editing a filter.
Kan has managed to format these filters so that all fields can be  
transferred, for the benefit of our team members using EndNote. We're  
still maintaining the full database in Papyrus, and many of us  
(including me) are still sticking with Papyrus, but this gives us  
some flexibility, particularly for those needing to text extract from  
Windows versions of Word.  BTW, I have been told that Endnote has  
also added a field to allow us to keep the Papyrus number, and even  
use it for text extracting.  This may or may not have anything to do  
with my request to Endnote a few years ago that they add that  
functionality.


I hope this helps.
