I recently changed from endnote and still going back and forth as in terms of where I am going to sat. I have a file of around 1000 references, that include the essential citation but that do not have an abstract. Is there any way for bookends to look for the abstracts and download them from the web?

You can try Refs -> Autofill From Internet. This works especially well if you have references from PubMed.

thanks for the help. This option is greyed out, why would that be?

The reference must have a PMID or DOI for Bookends to try to autofill.
