    Good day!

    I'm a new JabRef user, and I congratulate the developers on an excellent
    program!

    I have successfully added additional columns to the Entry Table through
    Options->Preferences->Entry Table Columns, but I can't figure out how to write
    in them. Clicking on the cell in the table doesn't allow me to enter text.

    I have added Fields to the entries with the same names as the new columns with
    the hopes that JabRef would auto-update the new columns with the text in the
    fields bearing the same name, but alas that did not work either.

    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance!

    Dear ??????,

    It will be nice if you identify yourself. About your first problem: you must
    explore more your possibilities, JabRef principal panel is a graphical way to
    see the database. To write into fields you have to double click on entry and a
    window pop up, below the principal panel. Now you have a graphical form were
    you can write whatever you need.

    Regards,
    José Ribeiro

    Thanks Jose!

    I added the columns after adding the fields, and it appears to work now. You
    are correct in that I can only add text to the fields, and not the column
    entries themselves. I appreciate the feedback!

    HI
    I am new to Jabref I couldn't get your answer. I have to link my jabref database with excel or some other application to enter desired data in fields there?
