Well, it turns out that the answer was very simple, and in fact I gave it in
my last message (doh!). The preview template needs to be set up to reflect
the division of the the standard \bibliography command into two commands
with biblatex. Here's a template file that works to produce PDF previews:
\documentclass[letterpaper]{article}
\pagestyle{empty}
\textwidth = 6.5in
\voffset = -105pt
\hoffset = -120pt
\renewcommand{\refname}{}
% The following command is provided for LaTeX2RTF compatibility with
amslatex.
\newif\iflatextortf
\iflatextortf
\providecommand{\bysame}{\_\_\_\_\_}
\fi
\usepackage[style=authoryear]{biblatex}
\bibliography{<<File>>}
\begin{document}
\nocite{<<CiteKeys>>}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
There is still a problem in that no RTF preview is produced. It appears that
Latex2RTF is simply not compatible with biblatex yet (not surprising given
that biblatex is still in beta).
Thanks for your help, Adam and others!
