Hi Erez
You said "I use also zotero to collect the citations, and export it as bibtex
file."
The exported bibtex file does not appear to be fully compatible. A LyX (or
MikTex?) dialogue with a host of errors is blocking me from either viewing or
pdf-ing the document: 'missing $ inserted, extra } or forgotten $'
What did I miss?

Subject: Re: JabRef and LyX, manually putting .bib files into MiKTeX 2.7
Maybe this will help.
?
A bib file is just a certain type of format, which can be saved in notepad.
Jabref opens it up an shows it to you in an easiser way.? So,
?
1. In Jabref, you create bib file called mylib.bib. You can save it anywhere.
So lets say you created a folder where your current lyx project is located.
Save this bib file there.
?
2.Go to the place in your lyx document where you want the references to be
presented (presumably, the end). Click Insert/ Lists & TOC/ BibT E X
Bibliography. Point the LyX document to that specific file, by browsing for the
mylib.bib file.
?
3. Click Lyx's Layout/Document setting, choose Bibliography. Here you
specify the style of citations you want.
4. Now, suppose you are writing a document and you want to cite something.
Click LyX insert/ Citation button. A menu should open and you should
see the list of reference ,
?
I use also zotero to collect the citations, and export it as bibtex file.?

I just started using LyX 1.6 and JabRef 2.4 and I read here that you cannot
push refs from Jab into Lyx in windows xp.
Here's the strange thing (coming from a beginner's perspective), I can create a
bibliography because there are .bib files already in the appropriate MiKTeX 2.7
folder that appears to be supplying Lyx with its database. I can also manually
put my JabRef .bib into that same subdirectory (C:\Program Files\MiKTeX
2.7\bibtex\bib\bibtopic) and it appears in the dialogue box along with the
others (examples that installed with Lyx).
But, insert>citation does not show any references in my .bib, though the others
do appear and can be inserted as citations and appear in the references at the
end of the doc.
There must be, at the very least, ?a way to put the .bib files in the right
directory manually?
thnx,
