CHanging the type to "Task" so it shows up in the Doc Task list. I have not responed to this because I had not worked out how to do myself untill now. We have now worked out what needs to be done. The cvs file must have the fields delimited by semicolons - ; OOo users numbers to indicate the citation type 0=article, 1=book, etc. The following file fragment text can be saved as biblio.cvs in the user/Openofficexx/user/database/biblio directory. (I shall attache a lager version in case the format is messed up here.) You can now define biblio.cvs as the flat file database - In Openoffice go to View>Data Sources. Right click on Bibliographic, select Administer data sources, change the database type to text, select the bibliographic directory again (home/Openoffice1.1RC/usr/database/biblio) on the Text tab, select extension=csv on the table tab select Biblio It is done. Now try tools>Bibliographic Database, you will get a prompt that some fields need to be redefined select yes, some for the field names have not exactly matched, but it should be obvious what to do find the fields defined as <none> and select the appropriate ones. It should then be working, test inset bibliographic references and produce a bibliographic table. Note: you can not write to the text database. --- cut--- "Identifier";"Type";"Author";"Title";"Year";"ISBN";"Booktitle";"Chapter";"Edition";"Editor";"Howpublished";"Institution";"Journal";"Month";"Note";"Annote";"Number";"Organization";"Pages";"Publisher";"Address";"School";"Series";"ReportType";"Volume";"URL";"Custom1";"Custom2";"Custom3";"Custom4";"Custom5";"Publication Type" "Rig03";"1";"";" A Companion to Britian in the Later Middle Ages ";"2003";"";"";"";"";"Rigby S.
