my main interest in broaching the subject is to help my colleagues, who all use endnote, to move to openoffice. if indeed matt finds that he can move his research group to openoffice, that would make a difference. despite zotero's manifest superiority in many areas, most of my colleagues are more wedded to endnote than to any other program. os this would be a big step. matt > > > --- Bruce D'Arcus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On 11/2/07, Matthew Yates <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > wrote: > > > > ... > > > > > As I said, I think this is great.
