>I run into particular trouble when citing software >packages and other computer-related stuff (data files, >whatever). With a corporate author (SPSS Inc.), I end >up with the record sorted by the corportion's last name >(Inc. in this case) -- which makes finding the right >citation a bit like mind reading. > Dan, You need to END the author field with a comma if you want multiple words listed in the order the are typed, rather than inverted, as in "last name, first name". Thus, for corporate authors, enter into the author field: SPSS Inc, This is actually a usefull feature: By automatically inverting those cases where in which no comma is found, it is possible to enter names (by far the most common entry in most people's author field) either as "last name, first name" or as "first name last name" (no commas). This is covered in the manual. Mark Johnsson <mark@octopus.wr.usgs.gov> U.S. Geological Survey/Stanford University
