[texhax] EndNote to Bibtex

[Simmie, John]

Ruth Mugford asks 

>I have also imported my references from Endnote into Bibtex and I would
>like to convert the long journal names to abbreviated names in a style
>file.  All the information on bibtex that I have read recommends typing
a >one word shorthand for each journal and using the @string command to
define >the outputted journal name.  However, I'd rather not replace all
the >unabbreviated journal names that I already have in Bibtex with
shorthands.  >It would be useful to be able to choose whether to use the
long journal >names, or abbreviations in future.  I have looked into
writing some style >file code, but the syntax seems pretty complicated.
I wondered anyone on >this list has already done this and has some code
to solve this problem?  >It would save me a lot of time!  Thanks for
your help.

but why not use the formidable formatting capabilities of EndNote
directly and then import the resultant?
