Thank you to Zan and Bob for very quick replies! They haven't shown up directly on the forum - is this usual?
I have managed to solve the captalisation problem with curly brackets in Jabref, so thanks for that tip!

I shall make another request for help to see if anyone knows a way around the natbib/apacite incompatibility problem.
