We have a word processing operator who is not familiar with ProCite. We would like to find/choose a text file import/export format that would allow her to export, edit in Wordperfect and re-import. It would also allow her to edit existing lists into a procite database. What do any of you recommend? Thanks, John

Dear John, If I were doing it, I'd use a spreadsheet like Excel instead. You can export from ProCite in tab- or comma-delimited text format. The spreadsheet will keep each field in the correct order in a separate column. Editing is straightforward and the resulting file can then be re-imported without dramas.

The most likely causes are: * the Z39.50 server is not running * additional configuration parameters are required * the site requires a username and password For any of those problems you will need to contact the administrator of the site to resolve the problem.

I would like to download citations from the subscription databases but I have not been able to do so using Procite 4. Thanks.
