To use EndNote with FrameMaker depends on how they use EndNote. Haven't'
used EndNote for a while but found it to be a great product. It has several
functions, most are irrelevant to FrameMaker -- or won't work with it.
However, the copy and paste feature works equally well with either Word or
FrameMaker

EndNote copy and paste directions for Windows (similar for Mac):
First, in EndNote, select the type of output wanted, e.g., APA style,
alphabetical, second author alphabetical, last name first, etc.
Next, highlight the selected EndNote entries or, to select all, press
Ctrl+a,
To copy, press Cntrl+k,
Go to the FrameMaker (or Word) file,
To paste into FrameMaker (or Word), press Cntrl+v.
Voila! You should now have the complete bibliography nicely formatted with
appropriate ordering, italics, etc.

It's another matter if you need to cross-reference the entries with the
text. Not sure how well cross referencing actually works in Word. But I
suspect you will have to manually build each cross reference in the
FrameMaker file. Also, every once in a while during the paste, FrameMaker
picks up strange, undecipherable hieroglyphics in certain entries.
Fortunately, these are usually only in the last entry and are easily
deleted.

Once in Frame, you will simply need to use the paragraph designer or
catalogue to format.

I have a potential client who wants to switch from Word to FrameMaker,
but they currently use a product called EndNote (http://www.endnote.com)
for writing bibliographies, and EndNote is not compatible with
FrameMaker. The website for EndNote says that some people have used it
with Frame, but that they don't support it. Does anyone have experience
using EndNote with Frame, or know of a similar product that I could
recommend?

Thanks!
