Unicode and accented Roman characters --> EndNote

Are the accented characters ok in the import files? If so,
you might try
re-saving them in notepad and making sure the encoding is
Unicode; also,
try opening the filter file in Notepad and saving it to make
sure the
encoding is also Unicode.

EndNote

All:

Those of us who have used EndNote for several years may
remember the
ballyhoo that accompanied the introduction of EndNote 8:
Unicode
compatibility! Well and good, but so far as I can tell it
doesn't work
when a filter must be used to download citations from a
database into
EndNote. For my humanities users, MLA is the standard
database; we have
it through CSA. Roman characters with diacritics are still
being
imported as garbage. :-\ If the user is fortunate enough to
be able to
rely on a connection file, in Connection Settings the Text:
box can be
changed from Western (Windows-1252) to one of the Unicode
settings, but
this cannot be done with a filter, at least that I know of.

Given that at the U of California only three connection
files for
databases still work, the utility of Unicode vis-a-vis
EndNote seems
limited.
