Use the Find and Replace command to find text in your references and replace it with other text. Changes can be restricted to a particular field in your references. You can also apply:
Match Case and Match Words restrictions
Style changes that include bold, italics, underline, plain text, superscript, subscript, or symbol font
Caution: The Undo command from the Edit menu cannot undo the results of the Find and Replace command. Make sure you have a backup before making changes.
To change any text in your references:
Decide which references you want EndNote to scan when it looks for text to change. Make sure only those references are showing in the Library window. Use the following commands to control which references are showing:
Show All References
Hide Selected References
Show Selected References, or Search Library.
From the Edit menu, select Find and Replace.
From the Select a Field list, select the field to be searched
In the "Find" text box, type the text you wish to change. To enter a Carriage Return or Tab in the text box, use the Insert Special button.
Change the Match Case or Match Words settings if necessary.
By default, the Match Words option is always selected. If you change this setting, pay close attention to whether or not the term you are changing could appear as part of another word or in a different context depending on the capitalization.
In the "Replace with" text box, type the text that should replace the original text. To enter a Carriage Return or Tab in the text box, use the Insert Special button.
Select the Retain Capitalization option to maintain the same capitalization as the text being replaced.
Retain Capitalization should be selected if replacing a term that might appear with different capitalization. For example, any word may have its first letter capitalized if it is the first word in a title, but may also appear in all lowercase in other places. Do not select Retain Capitalization if you are replacing an acronym with its unabbreviated version.
Click the Change button to search the selected references for the specified text and replace it with the new text. Before replacing any text, EndNote has you verify the changes.
Click OK if all of those items in the dialog are correct. EndNote replaces the text and displays the number of references that were changed.
