Answer: To resolve this:
- Go to the EndNote 8 menu, select Preferences.
- Then, choose the "EndNote Defaults" button.
- Click on "Display fonts" then choose the "EndNote Defaults" button.
- Click on the next option down, and click the default button.
- Do this for each option here.
- Click Save, and close this window.
You should now be able to open the reference editing window once again. This should also resolve the "Unexpectedly Quit" error message.
In a few cases, it's actually necessary to completely recreate the preferences for EndNote 8 in order to resolve this problem. If the above does not resolve the problem, then try the following:
Open EndNote 8, then go to the EndNote 8 menu and choose Customizer.
Here, select "uninstall".
Once this is completed, do the following to reset the preferences completely:
- Go to your OS9 system folder, and open the Preferences folder. Here, pull out all files starting with EndNote (like the EndNote f folder, and any preferences directly in the preferences folder). You can place these files on your desktop. If you do not have any files here, go to the next step.
- Go to Users:[your login name with the house icon]:Library:Application Support:EndNote
- Remove all files from this location (you can put them on the desktop- they will be rebuilt when EndNote restarts).
- Go to Users:[your login name with the house icon]:Library:Preferences.
- Remove the "EndNote f" folder and the "com.ThomsonResearchSoft.EndNote.plist" file.
- Restart the computer.
- Go to Applications, Disk Utility.
- Open the Disk Utility application.
- Choose your hard drive, then click the "repair disk permissions" option.
- Reinstall EndNote from your installer, dragging the EndNote 8 folder to the "Applications" folder.
- Open EndNote.
- Go to the EndNote 8 menu, select Preferences.
- Then, choose the "EndNote Defaults" button.
- Click on "Display fonts" then choose the "EndNote Defaults" button.
- Click on the next option down, and click the default button.
- Do this for each option here.
- Click Save, and close this window.
Now try to open a new reference or edit an existing reference in EndNote 8.
