Internet-BiblioBrowser | The Interne Module activates BiblioBrowser which uses the Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) engine (that has to be installed in your machine). Can handle its own 'Bookmarks' organized in tree groups. You use it to search remote databases through their own gateways and search methods: displayed records can be imported (select a filter). Can also capture web pages either as bib. records or as Notes (see Notes Module above): text and web page along with its graphics. |
BiblioWord | Built-in wordprocessor especially useful for direct manuscript formatting. "References are listed on the right panel next to the word processor. When you are ready to cite, you can drag a reference from the right panel and drop it where you want to insert the citation." From official documentation |
Utilities | (automatically included in the Professional edition which is reviewed here) |
BiblioSidekick | "BiblioSidekick uses a small window to let user browse and search bibliographic records. BiblioSidekick window can be shown as "Always OnTop", so both your word processor and bibliographic records are displayed. You can then just drag the reference you want to cite at the desired position in your document, and a citation tag is automatically added. You can then generate a formatted document with Biblioscape: called also "Drag While You Cite".

Windows and Mac OS editions: differences |
Win & Mac OS: the two versions work in the same way with a few differences: 1. Mac has got more limited word processing compatibility as far as manuscript formatting is concerned,
|
Palm OS ed. | Both Windows and Mac editions can be synchronized with handheld devices using Palm OS™ 4.1-5.x (16 MB RAM): not tested.
The Palm version is not a full EndNote on the Palm. It is a small application to make your references available away from your main computer, with limited editing capacity. It has no: change reference types; CWYW manuscript formatting; scan paper; Z39.50 searching; print; import; export; changing styles, etc. You can make simple changes to references such as adding records and data, and do very simple searching. Adding notes is done in an independent entry window instead of in a separate field, this is a Palm standard. The field information will be plain text when it is synchronized back to the PC. No back compatibility to versions lower than 8 for data like records and citation styles (filters and connections at risk). |
