I agree with Don-- could not live without Endnote- but if you are on a Mac, there are some things you need to know or you will go mad! First, turn off all automatic scanning in word-- do spell and grammar checks by clicking it manually. Second, turn-off auto formatting of references-- click the button with green checks to do it manually, and third, turn off the connection between inline citation and reference at bottom. You should have a smooth experience- without slow and groaning typing.
happy end one,
