What I did today in order to track down items which contain a TeX error (which seems to be your problem as well) in a bib file with >700 items was to switch the bottom frame of the main window to TeX preview. Then I selected a number of items at the same time and tried to track down which items cause the errors. It is a pain in the neck to have to do that for large bib files but there is probably little one can do (besides maybe selecting all items in the main window, then pressing the TeX preview-icon and switch to the Log report to see where problems occur - but on my old and slow iBook that is even slower than the other approach). > > Thoughts? > > Of course, I could still be asleep, and just not know it. > > Justin > > -- > Justin C.
