EndNote plugin to Import or Export Smart Groups between Computers

1. NOTES:
   1. These steps are intended for Synchronizing between computers with EndNote X6 and later. If you simply want to share your library with another EndNote user and include the smart group information, you can follow the steps in this article.
   2. Windows and Mac Smart Groups with Unicode group names and Unicode search terms will not be transferred correctly at this time.
   3. If a smart group with the same name does not exist, one will be created. If a smart group with the same name does exist, the search rules will be changed to match the exported group. When the rule is changed, the library needs to be opened and closed to reload the group information.
   
   Windows:
   1. Download the ImportExportSmartGroupsPluginWindows.zip file
   2. Exit EndNote.
   3. Create a directory 'My Documents\EndNote\Plugins' if it is not already present.
