First, let me thank Andrew Kirchner and Christopher A King for creating this discussion group. This will be the independent forum for Biblioscape fans to...
I'm a new user of Biblioscape and I feel I have chosen a good product but with some quirks. I'm pleased that there is a forum where users can cmmunicate...
Which quirks did you have in mind? (I'm pretty new to it, too, and I, too, think it's a good product; in fact, I'd go so far as to say that it's in a class of...
Something that I would like to see improved is it integration with Word and ESPECIALLY WordPerfect (WP). The integration for citing references and creating...
Chris, Biblioscape's integration with word processors is very simple. Word processor saves the document in RTF or HTML format, then send the whole file to...
Hmmm. The WordPerfect scripting language isn't that difficult to get to grips with, and it's pretty powerful. Presumably you'd need a macro which looks for...
Hugh, It certainly can be done. The easiest way for communicating between WP and Biblioscape is through DDE. You need to scan the document twice. The first ...
Wow -- what have I got myself into :-) It'll take a little learning on my part to get up to speed with the macro language, but it sounds interesting. OK, let...
Well, in theory I should begin the detailed outline of the dissertation this summer and begin writing the intro, background, and methodology sometime in...
In the Forum Paul mentioned a new release of Biblioweb in the future that will operate more like a windows application. Here are few suggestions for features. ...
... We are planning to remove this feature even in Biblioscape. The current version allows a reference to be in more than one folder. In 6.0, we plan to only...
Very interesting. So would each Project have its own set of reference folders, such that a given reference can be in the folders of more than one project, but...
How is this visually any different from Folders? If Projects serves the same purpose then what is the impetus for change? ... current ... we plan to ... a new...
Chris, With the project module, you can include not just references, but also notes, tasks, charts, file link, etc. The project module is just an idea at this...
Hugh, A project will have links to references, notes, tasks, etc. This is all in a very earlier stage. We will build some prototypes to produce some screen ...
I am confused by the proposal for a "projects" folder. How is this different from the Dynamic folders presently in v 5? Or rather, what would it add? I find...
Paul and Discussion Group, I have been using Biblioscape for about a year and a half. I am a scientist and started using Biblioscape after I began to work for...
Paul, Please don't remove functionality of Biblioscape. The "Projects" idea is something I don't have much use for because I don't use the Notes, Tasks or...
You make a very good point, Alan: it's the old thing about chains being as strong as their weakest link, isn't it? I quite agree that this aspect of ...
Bill, The style editor will be looked into before we work full time on version 6. We know it has problems. But can never reproduce it, that is why it is still ...
Having spend the last several days trying to create adequate Chicago/Turabian styles, I can tell you that the style editor is a mess. It's not unusual to spend...
As a new Biblioscape user, I agree that the "folders" idea could use some rethinking, though I'm not sure that "projects" is the way to go (and I certainly...
The template file for Biblioscape integration with Word and WordPerfect are not protected. User can read and edit them. In order for user to have an easier...
Some other things I'd like to see in a new version of Biblioscape: The ability to enter journal abbreviations in the journal field, which then expand to the...
Bill -- You do seem to be having trouble, don't you? Of course Papyrus was extraordinarily stable. But now that Bib 5 is settling down (every time a new...
Does anyone out there actually use Biblioscape to format documents with temp citations? My few experiments with it thus far have yielded a mess--crashes,...
