At the risk of sounding stupid, what about a QuickKeys macro? It would be
pretty slow, depending on how many hundreds you were talking about, but
presumably this is a one-off, so you could leave it running overnight. It
would be a simple repeating keystroke sequence (especially straightforward
if, and I haven't checked, the abstract field is in the same position (ie
the same number of "tabs" down from the top of the record) in all reference
types). Again, I'd do it on a backup copy of the library to be sure!
