option by clicking Mark All. Once a filter is marked as a favorite, it will 

appear in the Import Options list in the import dialog.

NOTE: There are many more databases and services that provide data 

than there are filters included with EndNote, so in some cases you may 

need to write your own filter or modify one of ours. See the EndNote 

Help file for information about creating and modifying filters, and check 

our Web site periodically for new and updated filters 

(http://www.endnote.com).

Comparing a Filter to a Data File

If you are uncertain whether a filter matches a data file that you have 

downloaded, you can compare the format from your downloaded data 

file to a filter. To do so, select a filter in the Filter Manager, and click 

the Edit button. When the Filter window opens, select the Templates 

option in the list at the left of the window to display the tags recognized 

by that filter. 

The tags and templates in the filter should match the data in the file you 

want to import.
