I am sorry if my original question was unclear. Let me give an actual example that just happens to have two complex problems with middle names. The proper citation is: Kendall, C. G. St. C. and Skipwith, P. A. D'E., 1968, Recent algal mats of a Persian Gulf lagoon: Journal of Sedimentary Petrology, v. 38, p. 1040-1058. The authors names, as written in the original paper are: Christopher G. St. C. Kendall and Sir Patrick A. D'E. Skipwith -- note the St. in one and the D apostrophe E in the other. EndNote formatting, at least as I have it set up, results in a citation of the authors as: Kendall, C. G. S. C. and Skipwith, P. A. d. E., 1968, etc.. While I admit that this is close to being correct, it is not the proper way to cite either name. I find it almost impossible to remember all the names in a database that might require such modification (other than by adding an arbitrary marker and then editing the final manuscript). Am I missing something here? Is there an easy way around this problem? Has no one else encountered this? Again, thanks for your help. Peter A.
