Find and Replace, Change Field, and Move Field

The Find and Replace, Change Field, and Move Field commands can be used to make changes to a large number of references at once. Here are some of the common uses for these commands.

Correcting consistently misspelled words or names.

Use the Find and Replace command from the Edit menu to search for the misspelled term and replace it with the correct spelling.
Updating author’s names.

There may be variations of an author’s name in your data. For example, "Joe Cool," "Joe A. Cool," "J. A. Cool.," and so on. Since some styles prefer whole names and others abbreviated first and middle names, it is best to update names to full names and leave the work of abbreviating to the EndNote styles.
Cleaning up your keywords.

You can add a keyword to a group of references using Change Fields. Use Find and Replace to replace a term with a new one. If there is a keyword that you no longer want in your references, use Find and Replace to search for that text and replace it with nothing, thereby deleting it (you might also want to open your term list and delete it from there so that you do not use that term again).
Dating or labeling a set of imported references.

It can be useful to add the date or source of data to a batch of newly imported references. Only the imported references are "showing" in the Reference List after importing. At this point, use Change Fields to add a word or phrase to any field in just those references.
Moving fields of information in a set of imported references.

Maybe your import filter or connection file consistently sent Note information to the Abstract field. Use the Move Fields option to cut all information from the Abstract field and move it into the Notes field. Don’t forget to update your filter or connection file so it directs information to the correct field next time!
