I am trying to write my thesis in Scrivener (Mac) but keep getting the same error message:
I use Endnote X8 regularly on my computer and don’t know why Scrivener does not point to Endnote. In “Preferences”, I could not find anything that gives the optoin to connect to Endnote. I’ve been trying to look through resources online but couldn’t find any answers.
It’s on Preferences > General, towards the bottom of the panel.
There’s a line ‘Bibliography Manager’ and a choose button. When you press that, you’ll be given the option to select Endnote from your Applications. After that, the cmd-Y shortcut should work.
[Did you buy Scrivener from the App Store – if so, note the comment in the error message that you should have launched EndNote at least once on your machine before doing this.]
HTH: if you’ve tried this and it still doesn’t work, then please post again with details of what you’ve tried.
