| Question 17: Can I convert a ProCite database to EndNote?
Answer: The Macintosh version of EndNote 5/6/7 cannot directly
convert a ProCite database. If you have access to a Windows machine, you
can use the Windows version of EndNote 5/6/7 (including the Demo version)
to convert a ProCite database as outlined below. If you do not have access
to a Windows machine, contact Technical Support for assistance with the
conversion.
EndNote 5, 6, and 7 for Windows can directly convert a ProCite database
as follows:
- In EndNote select File / Open / Open Library.
- Under “Files of Type” select “All Files (*.*)”.
- Find the ProCite database that you wish to convert, and select it
as the library to open.
- Click Open and a dialog box will appear. Click Convert to begin the
creating an EndNote library without customizing the field and reference
type mappings. If you click Customize you can select the destination
Reference Types for the ProCite workforms, as well as set the destination
EndNote fields for the fields in the ProCite database.
- After clicking Convert enter a name for the EndNote library and click
Save.
This will create an EndNote library using the data from your ProCite database;
the original ProCite database files will not be affected. |
