Problems importing Endnote X into Zotero

mahlers
Is this possible? We have tried a variety of things but always get "this format is not compatible with Zotero" I have about a thousand entries in Endnote which I need to upload into Zotero.

Any work-around like importing into RefWorks from Endnote and then exporting from RefWorks into Zotero?

Please help! Thanks.

    Addendum: I did download the RIS plug in from Endnote web but having trouble still.

    what exactly is "a variety of things"?
    Have you tried this?

    If so and it doesn't work split up your RIS file into smaller bits to see if this is a general problem or if it only concerns some entries.

    Basically, the version of Endnote that I am trying to transfer is Endnote X and I no longer have the original version of these Endnote documents, and thus, these are a "converted copy" and so when I click 'export' and then go to select the RIS version under 'text only' there is no RIS option, and so, I cannot export it.

    You should consult Endnote's support channels, as it sounds like you do not yet know how to export an RIS file from their software.

    (As far as I know, you can save converted libraries to new endnote libraries and, if you have the RIS export provider installed properly, you will be able to generate the needed output. But I don't have Endnote & their forums will be more likely to help you with their software.)
