Hi, Running: Windows XP, EndNote X1 I'm trying to export from EndNote to BibTeX format using their output style file. The most recent BibTeX output style can be found here: http://www.endnote.com/support/enstyledetail.asp?SORT=0&PAGE=3&METH=0&DISC=none&JOUR=none&BSRT=none&FF1=none&FF2=none&FF3=none&CITE=none&DKEY=714200664457JBA When I import it into LyX I point it to the exported .bib file but when I try to add a citation there are no records to choose from. Anyone else encountered this problem? Thanks in advance for any help. Cheers, Ed Sykes One other problem that might be affecting Ed is the encoding of the the .bib file and the default encoding settings in Jabref. I first had a problem with this when I first started using Jabref. This could be the reason why nothing is showing up in Jabref after the export. 1. There is an option to save the exported file in .txt, .rtf, .htm, or. xml format. He should be selecting .txt format. (The file must be renamed with the .bib extension.) 2. The default encoding in Jabref should be set to ASCII format. He can check the default encoding settings in Jabref by going to OPTIONS --> PREFERENCES --> GENERAL. Default encoding is the last option. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Jeremy M. Kritt
