Reference Web Poster Tech Support FAQ

Problem: When conducting a search on the web in my ProCite® database, why can't I seem to find any of the authors that I know should be there?

Solution: The standard way that ProCite keeps the names of 2 or more authors in authors field is to separate them with //. Keywords are stored in a similar manner using a single /. Alternatively, authors can be delimited with semicolons but this is less recommended when using RWP. Usually RWP's converter will not recognize authors or keywords that are not delimited in the standard convention and the search will generally fail. Also loading a ProCite database that has incorrect delimiters may cause RWP to hang. Using ProCite's Global Edit feature, found under the Database menu, replace semicolons or other characters with // for authors and / for keywords. Remember that records must be marked in order to be edited with the Global Edit feature.

ProCite also uses an = equals sign to signal a corporate author internally which RWP does not recognize.
