Hmm. How large is "large." When you're talking abstracts? I recall
reading in the EndNote manual that any field can hold as much as
32k. Getting the text into EN is just a matter of cutting and
pasting. So what could be easier? (That's not a rhetorical question.
If BE has an easier way, I'd like to know about it.)
