EndNote General

[gilliann]

We have exciting news to share. Our partners at Apple have released an update for Apple Pages that greatly improves the compatibility with EndNote. 

You can learn more about Pages 5.2 here: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/pages/id409201541?mt=12

Please be sure to update your Pages to 5.2 and download Apple's EndNote plugin here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1692 Our initial testing did not show any major issues. 

If you do experience issues with the EndNote plugin in Pages 5.2, please let Apple know here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/pages.html , as they are the ones who produce and support the plugin. However, we'd love it if you would also share your experience with us on this thread for the benefit of the community. 

Thanks so much for your patience while we worked with Apple on the Pages 5 compatibility!

Pages 5.2 does seem to work much better. However, I haven't been able to get Pages to generate a reference with italics (italicized journal name, for example). I've tried it with APA and Chicago Author-Date, but Pages just seems to ignore the style formatting in both cases. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Thank you for this report. We can reproduce this issue in house. If you use a style like "author date" it underlines the Journal name correctly, but when you choose a style with italics in the bibliography formatting, this appears as regular font in Pages 5.2, rather than italics. We will report this to Apple for correction in future revisions of Pages.

More problems:

(1) The dialog from which EndNote references are to be selected does not allow selecting multiple references (this is possible in Pages 4.3).

(2) The dialog from which EndNote references are to be selected only shows the first author, the title, and the publication year which is insufficient compared to the information provided in Pages 4.3.

(3) The dialog from which EndNote references are to be selected does not show a preview of the reference the format in which it is added to the bibliography (this is possible in Pages 4.3) which makes selecting the proper reference unnecessarily intransparent and difficult.

(4) When a bibliography is appended to the current text, the header “Bibliography” is formatted as plain text and not as a Header 1 (as in Pages 4.3).

(5) When a bibliography is appended to the current text, the references are formatted as “Free form” paragraph style rather than as “Bibliography” paragraph style which is added automatically, using the font that is also used for te main text, in Pages 4.3.

I guess it will take a few more iterations before Pages 5.x and EndNote can be used together.

I use EndNote X6.
I have not been able to send the citation from the EndNote X6 to Pages 5.2 by the "send citation button" on EndNote.

The button is unavailable when I have Microsoft Word closed, but Pages 5.2 open.
How can I solve this problem?

Thank you
Pedro

I tried Pages 5.2 and Endnote Plugin 2.0 with Endnote x7 and found it unusable. The most serious problems were

1. Pagination stability - adding footnotes results in a pagination "wiggle," such that the page on the screen keeps moving around. As one types, even just a few letters on a single line, the page breaks change on prior pages. I am using no sectioning, and I tried various formatting options on widow and orphan control, spacing between footnotes, etc., to try to control things.
2. Every time I created a footnote, a new blank bibliography section was created.

I needed to revert back to Pages 09 and Plugin 1.0, which worked fine. 

Since no one else has reported similar issues, I'm wondering if there is a problem with my settings? Another possibility is that the docs with which I am working were either originally created in Pages 09 or are based on a template originally created in Pages 09. However, in all cases, I upgraded the docs/template to Pages 5.2. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I'm having the same problem; I have posted elsewhere on the forum about the duplicate bibliography recently. It probably has nothing to do with your settings, as the standard setup was working fine until two days ago.

Greetings,

Thanks for your reports and I do apologize for the issues you've been encountering.  So far, I have not been able to reproduce either situation with EndNote X7.1 & Apple Pages 5.2 running on Mac OS 10.9.2.  Is this the same environment you're working in when encountering these issues?  Might you have an unpatched version of EndNote X7 installed or are running a previous version of the Mac operating system?  If possible, try creating a new Pages 5 document and fill several pages with sample text.  Once you've got text in this test document, try inserting footnotes and accompanying references to see if the problems are document-specific.

Please let me know what you find.

Best Regards,
Jimmy M.

I see a few people posting here using Pages and EndNote and thought I would try my luck replying here as running out of options.

I have: MacOSX 10.9, Pages 5.2 and EndNote 7.1

I recently upgraded from EN4 (actually was forced to after upgrading OSX/Pages and realising EN4 just doesn't load with those versions). Since then I've faced a problem which is making Pages almost unusable for me and very curious if any other Pages users are facing the same issue.

I'm not doing anything fancy, basically just using EndNote to insert references into footnotes and generate Bibliography.

After 2-3 pages with a couple of references Pages starts to get very laggy when I type (the longer the document gets the worse the lag gets), On a 10 page document with around 2-5 references per page it is delayed about 0.5-1s per letter typed. It's extremely distracting when trying to type and almost making Pages unusuable for me.

I've been able to reproduce the issue using the example library provided by EN. Using Pages without EN typing is fine. My Mac is only about a year old and still pretty fast with everything else so I'm pretty sure it's an EN issue.

I tried a support ticket, now I'm being told it's a bug with no details on if or when it will be fixed. If this is a bug then surely other Pages users on these versions out there are hitting this as well?

If anyone else is experiencing something similar please let me know to give me some confidence this is actually a known issue and will be fixed in a forthcoming release. In the meantime EN is as productive to me as being able to type with one finger. :-(

Appreciate any info on this from anyone, just want to try to get this sorted, thanks.

It is my understanding that the Pages developers have to fix the problems - as they impliment the interface with Endnote. not TR.
