Clipboard won't work w/ Word doc [related EndNote problem too]
My Clipboard opens and collects cuts and copies, but it won't work to cut and
paste editts back to a Word document I'm typing. Per my review of the Help suggestions, I've checked every option on the Options part of what I believe to be the "task pane" for Office (the 24-item dropdown that appears to the right of the doc). That's the core MS Word problem I need help in diagnosing and fixing... Below are more MS/EndNote issues that I'd be grateful for your help on if you have the time or inclination to skim the following longer note (help with EndNote a bonus but not necessary).... ________________________ Possibly Related Fact (but see Post-Script just added after this paragraph) I am working in a document that was originally created in Endnote (widely used high-end database software for facilitating bibliographies and citations) before I copied the formatting for a second section. I know that's not a Microsoft offering but it's solid 9th-generation software from a reputable company that will help me greatly as a 51-year-old going to grad school to become a history teacher). [Post-Script Added After Note Below Finished - I just opened a regular old Word doc to test EndNote's culpability and the Clipboard still doesn't work, so read the following with this knowledge..My dream fix would be to have the Clipboard work with an EndNote APA-style template doc too if that makes any sense to you...if it doesn't, forget EndNote...I know that's a personal non-MS problem... Unfortunate Fact (if you know EndNote) - Sometime a few weeks ago, I lost Endnote's ability to interface with Word (thrugh the Tools menu) and will probably have to reinstall it it anyway unless I just lucjked out with a Word/EndNote maven] Odd fact -The new part of the doc that I'm typing doesn't appear in the Normal view, just the Print view -- but the Clipboard doesn't work with the part that appears in Normal either. Maybe I have to make the difficult choice of working completely outside Endnote (losing all its time-saving reference capabilities) or losing the often-used capabilities of the Clipboard? Maybe I should contact Endnote's publisher (Thomson Company from Canada) to ask for help instead of bothering you? __________________________________________________ I will greatly appreciate your perspective on any aspect of this problem. Thank you. Dan Merrick |

Still a Problem with Word and EndNote]
Dear Garfield-n-Odie, I clicked that the post both 1) was and 2) was not helpful, because the fact that your link didn't help wasn't your fault. I sense you know EndNote and the page was familiar (see below) so why EndNote's two alternative fixes didn't work is a mystery. I started out by re-downloading EndNote again per their advice (I clicked "Repair" when given a choice between that, Modify and Uninstall...but please note I never uninstalled what I had...since they didn't tell me to). When that didn't work, I went through the sequence of downloading, copying and pasting the .dot and WordXP.wll files they offered as a next, tougher step. I actually remember doing the same thing lst October to get it working with Word originally so I was just replacing the same downloaded .wll and .dot files in the Endnote application file folder and Word start-up folder, though the time of the file creation differed by an hour (Daylight Savings Time shift since I downlaoded initially last file perhaps?) In any case, it didn't work --- or at least the Cite-While-You-Write (CWYW) function doesn't appear on the Tools menu. I think I remember it took a while last time but it eventually worked, then the connection between Word and EndNote went away a few works ago. I got your kind note of help and link right away so this has cost me hours of frustration (counting what I went through before I wrote the post). I'll try re-starting XP again and doing the file copying from EndNote Program Files to Word Start-up one more time. Otherwise, I'll see if I can contact EndNote Help Desk in the morning (unless you have an idea...I'll be up a while). Either Word won't accept EndNote or EndNote suddenly became a bad partner for Word (maybe the files on their website became corrupted, and, as I said, I was just replacing ones that wee there already). I followed the path back several times so I'm 99.9% sure I'm putting the .dot and .wll files in the right Start-Up folder. I did exactly what they told me to do (two or three times, in fact). Oh well...thanks for trying. P.S. - Somewhere in all this...the Clipboard started working ( at least for one old and one new doc I opened) so I guess half a fix is better than none. Thanks again for a valiant and appreciated gesture. It should have worked.

Still a Problem with Word and EndNote]
In Word, click on Tools | Macro | Security. If the security
level is set to High, then either change the security level to Medium, or add Endnote (Thomson? Institute for Scientific Information?) to the list of trusted sources. The Endnote .dot and .wll files should be enabled in Tools | Templates and Addins. See http://www.endnote.com/support/faqs/CWYW/faq4.asp for more information.

EndNote & Word Together Again!!! Three Cheers for Garfield-n-Odi
Thanks so very much for sticking with my problem...
As I went through the previous fixes that didn't work, I was very frustrated... The security was Medium and Thomson signed in, but... Somehow, as you indicated, the boxes in Templates and Add-Ins weren't checked... I'm dead tired, but it sure is nice to go to bed with a win... Thanks to you, Garfield n' Odie... Have a great week!

They do sell templates there, so it might as well be that you have to buy first ... HTH Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |
