Try opening the file in a text editor and then saving it in ISO-8859-1 format. Thanks, tried this and worked... just for the PDI format, it goes back to (?) when converting it to PDF, and don't even include a ref list now! Sorry, but what can be it? Do you mean DVI? (Is that translated?) Anyway, the solution at this point is to export the file to LaTeX and run things manually in a terminal, so you can see the full error messages. If it's an issue with PDF, then run: pdflatex myfile bibtex myfile pdflatex myfile You'll probably have to run pdflatex again to get proper output, but you ought to see errors by now. Those should tell you the problem. Richard
