Question: I used to see tons of Connections, Filters and Styles. Now I just see 100 of each. Where are all the rest?
Answer: You need to “install” them into EndNote. They are already on your hard drive. You just need to bring them into the EndNote program by customizing it. Here are the instructions for the Mac and PC.
“Importing” more Filters, Connections Files, and Styles in EndNote X2 or X3
MacIntosh
Exit Word
Under the Endnote Menu, go to Customizer
Open the three sections and choose items of interest as you like or those recommended by the librarian:

Windows
Go to: Start –> Control Panel –> Add or Remove files –> Endnote X3
Click on Change
Choose Modify
Expand the lists by clicking on the + sign next to

Choose items of interest as you like or those recommended by the librarian above under the Mac Section. Select this way:
- Click in the X
- Choose –> Will be installed on local hard drive
After selecting sets that you want:
- Click Next
- Click Next
- Wait while Installation occurs.

Now, When you look in the appropriate “Manager,” you will see a long list. Put a check in the box to see them in your short list.
