AutoComplete
For certain data fields like "Authors", "Journal", and "Keywords", you often have to enter data that has already been entered before. When entering data into these fields, Biblioscape will look for a similar word while you are typing. The closest match will be displayed. If that is what you want to type, just press the Enter key to insert the suggested match. You can also use the Tab key to accept the suggestion to go to the next field at once.
If you prefer not to use the AutoComplete feature, you can turn it off. Go to the menu command "Tools | Options". On the "General Display" tab, uncheck the box "Enable AutoComplete in reference editor".
Field lookup
Some data fields in Reference table may have repeated values. For example, the "Language" and "Country" fields. To save some typing, and to keep data consistent, Biblioscape supports AutoComplete as explained above. Besides AutoComplete, you can also list all the unique values in a field. When you enter such a field, an icon will be displayed at the end of edit box. Clicking on the icon button will bring up the lookup Window with a list of unique values that have been entered for this data field. Select the term you want to enter and click the "Insert" button.
