Thomson EndNote has given me nothing but trouble for the last year. Scrambling my citations, and proving unable to easily change. Citations where a foundation is the author rather than a typical surname comes out as Foundation, The Name of. and I cannot get it right. Previously it has crashed and destroyed entire bibliographies. It is more trouble than it is worth.

The correct way to enter corporate names (in other words, non-personal names) is to end them with a comma. For example:University of Michigan,
The comma at the end tells EndNote it is not a personal name.

There's an easy way to get around the "Foundation, The Name of" problem. Instead of typing spaces between the words, as you would with a normal name, type hard spaces (non-breaking spaces) instead. You get them by typing <Option-Space> and they look exactly like normal spaces on the screen. But EndNote sees them as characters other than spaces, and hence doesn't reorder things to make the final word look like a surname in the generated citation.Hope that helps.
