I followed the steps above, or at least, tried my best. It didn't work. The
papers remained linked to the directory called Papers-1 wherever I moved it.
This, even after I deleted the preferences file, selected and re-selected
Papers. I created a disk image and put the Papers-1 directory on it, and then
ejected it, so it could no longer be found. Now none of the PDF's will link to
any folder, including Papers-1, no matter where I move it.
Any suggestions would be helpful!
