Changing field details

You can make changes to the bibliography database (for example,

rename fields or change the length of fields) by doing the following:

1) In the main document (not the Bibliography Database screen),

press

or click View > Data Sources to open the data source

window, similar to Figure 348.

2) Make sure that the Bibliography database is selected as well as

the correct table. You may have to expand some levels to be able

to select the correct ones.

in the example) and select

Edit Database File from the pop-up menu. This opens a window
