Theoretically the travelling library solves this problem.
The traveling library option works well for users with the
same version
of word and endnote. You do not need to be using the same
library and
Endnote will keep track of the references inserted from
each library
and may even rationalize a duplicate use of the same
reference from two
libraries - but that is a bit more hit and miss. Some
recommendations
for sharing/exchanging documents with collaborators are in
the endnote
pdf manual that gets installed with the program. I have
proposed more
complicated managing of shared documents has been proposed
especially if
the collaborators are using different versions (word or
endnote).
For an archived version of my approach - See <
http://www.researchsoftware.nl/kb/gforum.cgi?post=14981
>
To be absolutely honest, I turn off CWYW and share the
unformated
document unless I am very certain of my collaborators
abilities and
versions. Otherwise I use the method described above.
You can also ask your collaborator to drag the references
they use to a
mini-library, insert them from the mini-library which they
can send to
managing author keeping CWYW off. The managing author can
open the
mini-libraries and format the document. If you wanted to,
you could do
the same, and share the mini-library with them for them to
drag and drop
into. Then you are sharing a small library which can be
emailed back and
forth. In Endnote X/X1 there is actually a "send
to" option which
compresses the whole library into a single file complete
with PDFs etc!
But the mini-library is easier to handle.
One other note: If a paper is formated with Endnote 7, you
can reformat
with endnote 9, X or X1 (with the library) but not the other
way around.
The person with Endnote7 cannot reformat a document formated
by 9,X or
X1.

Subject: Multiple authors, multiple sites
I've trawled through the FAQ archive, and there doesn't seem
to have
been a final resolution of the problem of keeping references
coherent
when multiple authors are co-writing, from different sites
and with
their own end-note libraries. I'm using Endnote X - has a
solution
arrived or are we still at the work-around stage (currently
we're just
dumping the referencing onto a single author for each
paper!)
