EndNote allows you to customize many areas of the program to suit your needs. Most settings are saved for each user.
Most general preferences are stored in the Users/User Name/Library/Preferences/com.ThomsonResearchSoft.EndNote.plist preference file Windows Registry . For example, this includes many EndNote Preferences, subject bibliography settings, and Cite While You Write settings.
If you plan to share your libraries with other users, you may want to limit use of new and modified reference types.
Changes made to the reference types table apply to all libraries opened on that computer from the current user account.
If your library is opened from a different computer, your references will follow the layout of the reference types table for that computer and user.
If you create a custom reference type or modify a reference type for records in your EndNote library, you should make sure that the reference type is also created or modified on other computers that will access the library. See Sharing Your Reference Type Table.
Search strategy files are saved by default in your folder:
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\EndNote\Searches
Windows Vista: C:\ Users\User Name\ AppData\Roaming\EndNote\Searches
Windows 7: C:\ Users\User Name\ AppData\Roaming\EndNote\Searches
Windows 8: C:\ Users\User Name\ AppData\Roaming\EndNote\Searches
You may save them elsewhere if you prefer, but EndNote will open to this Searches folder when you choose to Load a saved search. EndNote search files use “.ENQ” as the file name extension.
You can save custom search strategies to any folder. EndNote search files use ".ENQ as the file name extension.
Cite While You Write codes are directly compatible between Word 2008 and 20112007, 2010, 2013 .
Because reference data is kept with each formatted citation, you can collaborate with other authors on a paper without each author having the same library.
