problem with standard data entry: pages

Post by clausmt »

If I include pages like in the following:
-------------
@ARTICLE{minna:2008,
author = {Minna, JD; Schiller JH},
title = {Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine (17th ed.)},
publisher = {McGraw Hill},
year = 1995,
pages = {551–562},
}
-------------
I get the following error message:
-------------
! Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is undefined
(inputenc) in inputencoding `latin1'.

See the inputenc package documentation for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.
...

l.6 \newblock page 551��
�562, 1995.
-------------

If i omit 'pages = {551–562},' no error message occur.
Is it the character '-' between the pages that is a problem? If so, what should I use instead?

You probably have an en-dash rather than a hyphen in the page list. In general, you are best sticking to a hyphen: retype the page numbers manually.
