The ENZ file is supported on 2 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the ENZ files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the ENZ file on each system platform.
What is ENZ file?
The ENZ file has been categorized as Settings Files. The creator of this file is Thomson Reuters. In addition to this file, the Settings Files category includes 1305 related files. EndNote Connection Format is most often found on 2 operating systems. These systems consist of Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is EndNote. This was created by Thomson Reuters. Alternatively, you can use 1 other programs.
How to open ENZ file?
An often recurring problem with EndNote Connection Format is that ENZ is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file ENZ to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ENZ file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install EndNote
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that EndNote is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name EndNote in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file ENZ.
Programs to open ENZ file
Remember to download programs supporting ENZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of EndNote with ENZ files
If, despite the installed application, the ENZ file does not start in the EndNote application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ENZ file with the EndNote program.
Step 3. Update EndNote to the latest version
If, despite the association of the EndNote program with the EndNote Connection Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Thomson Reuters page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ENZ file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The ENZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ENZ file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ENZ file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected ENZ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of ENZ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ENZ file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Thomson Reuters
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file ENZ except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the ENZ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ENZ file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
