RE: Cite While You Write feature in MS Word 2003


Dear all

The same kind of conflict occurs in Word 2003 SP2 with the Reference Manager 11.0.1 toolbar activated,
after having installed Macromedia Flashpaper 2.

Kind regards,

I checked Reference Manager addin files in Word. 

My problem was due to TechSmith's SnagIt software Word addin. I renamed the file "SnagIt Add-in.dot" in
"C:\Program Files\TechSmith\SnagIt 7" directory to "SnagIt Add-in.dotted" and everything is fine.

Regards and good luck.

Dear Karim

Acrobat does not cause any conflict with Reference Manager, I've had them running side by side in Word for
several years, so you don't need to uninstall Acrobat.

In-text citation number ranges


Hi, I have a new output style. The 'In text' citation settings are for
numeric citations, with the 'Use number ranges' box checked. However,
when formatted, ranges aren't used (i.e. they appear as "1,2,3,4,5"
rather than 1-5.

Any ideas what might be going wrong?

RE: In-text citation number ranges


You may have forgotten to "Reset" before generating the Bibliography.
Changes to an Output style are not applied until you do this (you
mentioned it was a new style, so I suspected you were editing it).

importing references from text file?


Folks
I would swear I've done this before in RefMan, and it was relatively
easy, but the tech support folks tell me no way. I swear this was why we
switched to RefMan many years ago, because one COULD do this!

I have 15 separate, relatively cleanly formatted text files of
bibliographies - all of which I'd like to import into a new RefMan
database - my goal is to create a bibliography for my entire unit. These
are a straight, formatted bibliography in text files - lifted from
folks' cv's - no Tags!

An alternative would be to use PubMed and pull by author - but this
introduces the tedious need to glean out those refs for the "wrong"
folks. I would get Medline subject headings in going this way - and yes
I realize that may have to be it.

The way I "remember" importing - which was akin to writing an import
format similar to tweaking the jounal formats for references lists -
seems no longer to exist. The tech support guy tried to walk me through
a rather bizarre version of that where I created one dummy "tag" for the
first element, and then strung the rest of the elements defined by
punctuation instead of a legitimate Tag - although it's bizarre I
wouldn't mind going this route except it still doesn't import ANYTHING
and it seems to hinge on this initial definition of each ref which isn't
flying, and that several of my "tags" are duplicates of each other: ".
". Has anyone any experience in this? 

I feel like it's 1980 again - somehow in getting software that's got
more bells and whistles, I seem to have lost or be unable to find a very

RE: In-text citation number ranges


Hi, this is funny, I had the same problem yesterday (RM 10).
It seems to happen when the New Output Style is created with Wizard.

RE: importing references from text file?


Importing references from a text-file isn't hard at all (do this all the
time at work).
There are a few things you have to be sure off :

the txt has to be 'clean' (i.e. a uniform structure throughout the whole
file, with or without tags)
you have to understand the information you're dealing with
you have to know how to create an import filter on the basis of your txt

Mostly (and I think this is the easiest way), I grant tags to all data
in the txt (prepping the txt). This can be easily done by importing the
data in an access-database and querying it (by adding tags to the data).
Export the prepped data to a txt and then create an import filter on the
basis of the tags you gave to the data (e.g. TI_ --> for title, AU_ -->
for authors, etc.... ; define the bibliographic type you're working with
with another tag e.g. JOUR_ for journals, BOOK_ for books ; the trick is
to define tags that cannot occur in a regular data string, hence the
underscore, make sure you make separate formal strings for the
bibliographic type [book, journal, ....] and the field data [title,
author, ...]).
Make sure all properties are set right and simply import the txt in RM
without any problems.

The criterium for this way of working is that you have a dataset with
100 or more records. If not, prepping the info and creating an import
filter is more work than entering the information manually.

Hope you succeed,

RE: ris-list-digest V1 #42


A couple RefMan 11 questions:

1. Is it possible to import from an Endnote txt file? I have had no luck
so far; and 2. Does anyone know of a simple way for multiple people to
add references to a single document; we have been unable to figure out
any way other than me being the last one to "touch" the document to
ensure references are in order.

Thanks much and have a great weekend!

Re: importing references from text file?


Hi Beth

I've regularly imported references from text files but I've always used
Word to reformat them to a "tagged" file before trying to import them. I
decided on a standard format for text file import, and then reformat the
files I'm importing to comply with it. (I do this for a couple of
batches of abstracts from conference proceedings each year).

An advantage of using Pubmed would be that you could get the abstracts
as well as Medline indexing -and even "relatively clean" files from
peoples' 
CVs may well have minor errors which will "throw" the import process.

Of course it depends on the number of references in the lists - but I
suspect the way the tech support guy tried to do it is the only way to
import that type of text file.

Sorry I can't help further

Best wishes

how to look-up a reference citation after generating

bibliography?
Sender: listmaster <at> isiresearchsoft.com
Precedence: bulk
Reply-To: ris-list <at> isiresearchsoft.com

Wrote a paper and generated the references list using RM v10.
So there is now:
References List
1. Smith P (2001)
2. Patterson R (2002)
etc...
I wish to look-up the detailed database records by clicking on the
entries of the References List.
Is there a way to do that?

Thanks in advance for any hint,

Import from Delphion


Hi, 

I'm using RM 11. 01 build 1709.

I encounter a problem with exported data from Delphion patent database.
The
export/ import seems to work fine. However, I have a some problem with
Assignee field. Some symbols cause errors F.ex if a company name is
"FOGTEC Brandschutz GmbH & Co. KG", only "Co.
KG" is imported into Reference Manager. Everything before the & symbol
is not imported.

Any ideas what might be going wrong?
