I thought the cite key was included in the past, but it does not seem to be there anymore. I added it along with the bibtex type, try tomorrows nightly. BTW, you can also type field names, though not this particular one as it contains a space. Christiaan On 15 Oct 2007, at 12:41 AM, Ingrid

See the Help for the full available syntax, in particular the Autogeneration Format Syntax appendix. There is no combination of number of characters and dropping small words, but you can limit the number of words that are included as in %T[3]5. Christiaan On 15 Oct 2007, at 12:49 AM, Ingrid

I see. That works, but now the citekeys are not being limited in length. I've tried a couple of combinations to get both rules, such as %t15%t[3] and %t15[3], but these do not seem to work. Is there a syntax that does both, or is it an either-or situation? Thanks much. On 10/14/07 4:36 PM, "Chri

Hello again, Two questions about citekeys. 1. Is there any way to get the citekey generator to ignore initial "The," "A," and "An" in titles? 2. Is there any way to search citekeys? When I use the Find and Replace dialog, "citekey" is not available as a field to search. I want to remove all the

Well, I am confused. It is working now, so I'm not sure what the problem was! Previously, I wasn't getting the Confirmation dialog that said I was about to delete the item from the group; I was getting the general delete confirmation. Unless, of course, I was hallucinating. Maybe I thought I had t
