Hi Matt, I have tried using the csv export (and will probably have to go with it), however, each record-block is packed between double-quote characters. I know its then just a matter of removing them but its quite possible that my exported fields also contain double-quotes, so I could only remove them at the start and end of the block.. its just an extra step which I'd like to avoid. Plus I'm not the end user. I'm exporting the following fields (surname, name, organisation, email address, institute, city, country) in the following format, so that they can then be inserted into a latex file: {\bf surname, name} & organisation\\ email address & institute\\ & city, country\\ & \\ With csv I get this (I tried it out on windows; I get the quotes and my new lines are ignored): "{\bf surname, name} & organisation\\ email address & institute\\ & city, country\\ & \\"
