Multipart Documents

Hi, I have a set of documents that together make up a book. I would like to make the set of documents (100 in all) into a template that can be used for writing other books. Could anyone tell me if the locations of the documents are relative or fixed please? Or do I need to re-establish a

So it appears that the reason is that biber does not escape the abstract of a reference, even if it doesn't at all display that abstract. Specifically this is occurring if a percentage sign is within the abstract. Apparently all percentage signs must be escaped? Is this a bug with lyx or with
