Free App Integrates DEVONthink, Microsoft Word, and Endnote

DEVONthink user and scientist Jim Falk has created a great little app to help him with his research work. The Mac app named FlunkeyFox facilitates using DEVONthink Pro (Office) together with Microsoft Word.

• Creates Microsoft-Word-compatible links to documents in DEVONthink Pro
• Reveals the corresponding document in DEVONthink when the link is clicked
• Opens Google Scholar in Safari with the title of a highlighted document in DEVONthink Pro so that the correct citation can be found
• Imports the citation into Endnote 7 and then into Microsoft Word as a footnote

Jim wrote the app written in AppleScript using GUI scripting and Livecode. It’s compiled as a standalone application but comes with source code. Jim publishes it under the GNU GPL-3 license.

Update: FlunkeyFox is, unfortunately, no longer available.
