Hi,
I would like to have in-text citations read something like [Batc53], for 
a reference of ilk -

G. K. Batchelor, "The theory of Homogenous Turbulence", Cambridge
University Press, Cambridge, 1953

Is there anyway of doing this? i.e. cutting the Author's name to four
letters, and the year to the last two digits for the in-text citation,
but having the full name and year etc. for the reference.
At the moment, my workaround is to format the paper once, giving me 
in-text citations of the form [Batchelor1953], saving this, reformat the 
paper again for the full reference, and cut and paste the reference list 
into the first saved paper. 
Any suggestions?

Chris Gatenby

ps I'm sorry if this could be easily solved by RTFM, but it went walkabout
from the lab last week.
