Dear Mark,
If I understood your message clearly, there is a workaround to your problem
with author formatting. For Asian names, such as Hata Tsutomu, where the
family name, Hata, needs to be listed first, you need to enter this name in
EndNote as the following:
Hata Tsutoma,
Essentially, EndNote would treat this name as a last name, so there would be
no comma inserted in this name in the formatting process. In formatting, the
name would always appear as "Hata Tsutoma". In the Author List, you would
select "Smith, Jane" for the Name Order. Thus authors like "Bill Clinton"
will format correctly as "Clinton, Bill".

Thank you for your suggestion regarding more flexibility with Endnote and
WorldScript. I agree, it would open new doors. I will add it to our list of
user requests.

Sincerely,
Kimberly Mattingly
