newbie question: output and get lyxpipe, and extra field codes
Just in first days of trying to learn to use JabRef/Lyx on Windows Vista with Word 2007. Trying to output and I get the error message that says ensure lyx is running (it is) and that the lyxpipe is valid (don't know how to do that). Secondly, have downloaded some references from medline, and when I try to save it says: Error in field 'institution': The # character is not allowed in BibTeX fields. In JabRef, use pairs of # characters to indicate a string. Note that the entry causing the problem has been selected. Correct the entry, and reopen editor to display/edit source. But I can't find the institution field, where's it hidden the entry screen for optional fields for example doesn't list it, and it's not scrollable, so ??? Cheers, Russell J.

Some entry types (e.g. Techreport) have an institution field (it's in the Required fields tab in the case of Techreport) and some (e.g. Article) do not. I think you can add Institution to something like Article using Options - Customize entry types, but unless Medline is adding institutions to articles, books etc. you shouldn't have to. (I don't use Medline, so I have no idea about this.) You can peek into the .bib file using Notepad or any text file viewer/editor, locate the # character, see what entry it's in and whether that entry has an Institution field. Then highlight the entry in JabRef and, if there's no Institution field, add it using the customization menu. /Paul
