Documents can be shared with colleagues using Word (versions 97, 2000, or XP) because each citation is saved with field codes embedded in the document; EndNote terms this "The Traveling Library" since the citation moves with the document. This means a colleague with a compatible word processing program does not require the corresponding EndNote Library to view the document. However, The Traveling Library does not copy all field content to the document; it excludes content found in the Notes, Abstract, Image, or Caption fields.
