(You can always create that folder! -- Your LaTeX installation will recognize it once you do.) Did you check to see if you have read permissions to aip.bst? Are you sure your copy of that file is not corrupted? Bennett
Ok, I created that directory and moved the file there. How do I check to see if I have permissions and/or if the file is corrupted? I was a little confused on how to download it from CTAN, so I just copied the text into a new tex file and saved it as aip.bst, is this ok or did I do it wrong?
