Swinburne output styles

Installation notes - Tibor Kovacs from the ITS HelpDesk advises the following:

  • If you have never used an older version of Endnote for Mac, save the style in: Endnote X1/files
  • If you are upgrading (i.e. you have previously used and removed Endnote 9, or still have it installed as well to X1) then the 'style' should be placed in Endnote 9's styles folder (i.e. Endnote X1 reads from Endnote 9's style folder)
