yeah. it's (particularly) not as useful if you have lots of fiddly or specialist type things in your footnotes etc. possibly better for science people?

i'm thinking of making my own database in excel. the main advantage of endnote is being able to insert the whole citation right away - if i just note down the number of the row in my spreadsheet and the page number, i'll also be able to copy across directly when tidying up. that sounds foolproof doesn't it? that way i could also copy & paste sections without fucking up numbering and ibids and what not.
