RE: Multiple authors, multiple sites

Theoretically the travelling library solves this problem.

The traveling library option works well for users with the same version
of word and endnote.  You do not need to be using the same library and
Endnote will keep  track of the references inserted from each library
and may even rationalize a duplicate use of the same reference from two
libraries - but that is a bit more hit and miss. Some recommendations
for sharing/exchanging documents with collaborators are in the endnote
pdf manual that gets installed with the program.  I have proposed more
complicated managing of shared documents has been proposed especially if
the collaborators are using different versions (word or endnote).
For an archived version of my approach - See <

To be absolutely honest, I turn off CWYW and share the unformated
document unless I am very certain of my collaborators abilities and
versions. Otherwise I use the method described above.

You can also ask your collaborator to drag the references they use to a
mini-library, insert them from the mini-library which they can send to
managing author keeping CWYW off.  The managing author can open the
mini-libraries and format the document. If you wanted to, you could do
the same, and share the mini-library with them for them to drag and drop
into. Then you are sharing a small library which can be emailed back and
forth. In Endnote X/X1 there is actually a "send to" option which
compresses the whole library into a single file complete with PDFs etc!
But the mini-library is easier to handle.

One other note: If a paper is formated with Endnote 7, you can reformat
with endnote 9, X or X1 (with the library) but not the other way around.
The person with Endnote7 cannot reformat a document formated by 9,X or
X1.

Subject: Multiple authors, multiple sites

I've trawled through the FAQ archive, and there doesn't seem to have
been a final resolution of the problem of keeping references coherent
when multiple authors are co-writing, from different sites and with
their own end-note libraries.  I'm using Endnote X - has a solution
arrived or are we still at the work-around stage (currently we're just
dumping the referencing onto a single author for each paper!)
