Ian:

A month or so ago, Eric Frank and I addressed this.  I liked his answer better
than mine, so I saved it.  Here it is:

>   Here is my way of adding text before or after

In case you are interested, here is my suggestion:

>I asked EN technical support about inserting text before
>the name in a reference quite A while ago.  At least for
>the PIM, you can't do it.  I am now in the habit of
>flagging in-text citations where I need to edit such things
>and then searching the text after it is formatted.  I
>use two pound signs as the flag ("##").  As long as you
>remember 1. to flag when necessary, and 2. why you flagged
>a citation, this works (although it would be nice if
>EN could do this!

Hope this helps (I also hope Avi is listening!!).
