Compatibility fix for MAC users with latest versions of Office on Endnote X7

Thompson Reuters have finally released their patch that should re-enable CWYW for Mac users with Word 2016 (including Word for Office 365)! A number of us have had enquiries about this from students with Macs about this recently so it will be a relief to finally offer them a solution.  The new 7.5 version should be available when users “check for updates” in Endnote.

Here are some instructions from ResearchSoftware.com (Article link):

EndNote X7.5 for Mac released
This release contains features, critical updates, optimizations and other improvements for:

– Cite While You Write for Microsoft Word 2016
– Compatibility with OS X El Capitan®
– Sync
– Restored Direct Export functionality for OS X Snow Leopard®

Installing EndNote X7.5 for Mac
Follow the popup screen instructions after starting EndNote X7 Mac or choose ‘Check for Updates’ in EndNote X7, under the ‘EndNote’ menu.

Or see the original Thompson Reuters Knowledge Base installation article.

Once the 7.5 version is installed users may have to re-enable the CWYR tools – see Thompson Reuters Knowledge Base article
