The 2008 World Population Data Sheet is put out by the Population Reference Bureau and details information on current and projected population, infant mortality, nutrition information and population per square kilometre. Australian statistics can be found under the Oceania heading. It is useful to compare like countries.
The Population Reference Bureau website gives an overview of the information in the Data Sheet. You can also search by country and get more specific information such as life expectancy, literacy rates and school enrollment statistics.

Removing duplicates
Q: How can I easily remove duplicates from my library?
A: From the References menu select Find Duplicates. One of each duplicated record will be highlighted. You can then either press the delete key or select Delete References from the references menu.

Reference Types
Q: My book or website reference doesn't look right when its displayed. What's wrong?
A: You may have not selected the correct reference type when inserting the reference information. When creating a new entry to a library the default reference type is journal article. Make sure you choose the correct reference type (eg. conference proceeding, government document, book) from the drop down menu. This will give you the correct fields to fill in.

Choose the remove button
Click OK when all desired citations have been edited.

CWYW doesn't work properly
Q: When I insert citations I get a #number instead of a proper citation and no entry in my reference list.

Click the Instant Formatting tab
Click the enable button
Your document should be automatically reformatted.

EndNote FAQ
I will be presenting a series of posts over the next few weeks which are EndNote FAQs.
