Pages Plugins Install Location

Hi all!

So I was trying out Endnote recently, and installed the Apple provided Endnote plugin for in text citations, worked out wonderfully, but I decided not to buy the full version of Endnote and uninstalled it.

Problem is, I can't figure out how to uninstall the plugin that I installed as well. I tried uninstalled and reinstalling Pages, I even managed to find some file I thought was the plugin itself in a folder in the Library directory and removed that, but still the option for Endnote keeps showing up in Pages.

Does anyone happen to know how to remove Pages plugins and where they are installed to?

That "Endnote Citation" entry on the Pages Insert menu is always there, and by default, inactive as part of the Pages application design. Been that way for years, and has nothing to do with any Pages EndNote plug-in, or EndNote itself.

Click on your Desktop to get Finder's attention and then press shift+cmd+G to open the Go to Folder panel. Enter the following exactly as shown:

/Library/Application Support

That will open a new Finder Window on that location and you want to drag and drop the ResearchSoft folder to the Trash (there willl be a password prompt for your admin password) and then empty the Trash.

Huh that is the folder that I had found previously and deleted, but for some reason "EndNote Citation" is still showing up under the Insert menu. It's greyed out now, but still I'd like to get rid of it somehow.
