Daniel,

        As you can see, the bibliographic database does not have  conference 
specific 
fields set up.

I suggest you use the 'Book title' for the conference name and 'Title' for 
papers presented.

You will probably need to adjust the format of the Bibliography entry for 
"Conference Proceedings" using the Entries tab on the Insert->'Indexes and 
Tables'->'Indexes and Tables'->Type=Bibliography and set the order and 
formatting of the fields you need.

In fact none of the Bibliography entry types are properly formatted and you 
will need to do a bit of work to get it to work as well as properly. You may 
find using Zotero may work for you, see -

Good luck
