Thank you for your help.

I realise that using the "drag and drop" bibitem is really easier and nicer
than using my inadequate export template. Using an appropriate and modified
bst style, I can have exactly what I want for the author format. But I still
wondering how can I tune the exported fields. I added the "DOI" field in the
"Preference Panes" / "Default fields" / "Advanced : Custom BibTex Types and
Fields" in the optional fields of article but when I right-click on a paper
to get the LaTeX command, the DOI field is not in the bibitem output. Is
this depending on the bst file I use?

I also have a question about the "preference panes". In the BibDesk manual
(here : http://bibdesk.sourceforge.net/manual/BibDesk%20Help_60.html#SEC117 ),
for "Copying and Dragging" there are a default and an alternate formats. In
my version of BibDesk (i.e. 1.3.10), I selected the bibitem export as an
alternate format and there is a "model" option with choice between : item1,
item2, and item3. Is this a way to tune the bibitem command? (the exported
fields).

Thank you in advance,
Julie
