I am replying to Karyn's email as a way to ask the list server group --- I am considering moving from paper files to PDF files for articles. Have any of you experience in setting this up (e.g., what field) and is it worth it? Thanks..

It is very easy to set up. You only have to insert the location of your pdf file in the field WEB/URLs: For example : WEB/URLs: g:\articles download\Am J Physiol Regul Int Comp Physiol\Lutz(#10669).pdf To acces the pdf file, you click on the small icon on that field.&nbsp; Simple and easy !!

Dear Gary, I have a simple solution, which works fine for me. Use the Web/URL field and type something like C:\papers\Novack_G.pdf and put all your pdf-files into C:\papers. As there are no other fields allowing a hyperlink, this works fine and brings up the paper on a mouseclick, assuming Acrobat reader is installed. Hope this helps. Lutz To: From: "Gary D.

I just use a slight variation on all the others' schemes: I have subdirectories for each journal under a PDF directory, and store the papers as vol-page number.pdf. That's info that automatically comes up in a search in RefMan, and thus I avoid having to type the whole path into RefMan. I did the path+filename thing for a while, but tired of it. I'll go back in a second, if you could browse to the location and insert the path+filename automatically. Han ---------- M.

Have any of you experience in setting this up (e.g., what field) and is it worth it? ------------------ Hi, Gary, I think this came up, in a slightly different guise, and the consensus was you can use the URL line to point to the location of the PDF file. Just be sure that you use a path that will be valid for all users. (On our network version, I have to keep explaining to people that the server on which RefMan resides must be the same drive letter for ALL users or things will go awry when they put the pieces of the grants together.) The other note I would make is that faculty tend to be much happier when they have the ability to mark up articles--electronic highlighting, as it were. In which case they (a) want to be able to download the article to their own drive easily and (b) need access to a program that will allow them to do the markup. I don't know what might work. Cheers, Karyn Popham
