The closest you can get is with field groups, I believe: http://bibdesk.sourceforge.net/manual/BibDesk%20Help_33.html See the note at the bottom re: editing. You need to be aware that not all the authors it puts under a given name will necessarily have exactly the same name, since it uses some fuzzy matching. I think you'll also have to do author/editor/translator fields separately, whereas they're lumped into the author list in the editor window. hth, Adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ vRanger cuts backup time in half-while increasing security.
