I have looked up my style manual - 'The Chicago Manual of Style; 15th edition"
=================== Section 16:39 Abbreviations. A frequently mentioned work may be cited either parenthetically in the text or in subsequent notes by means of an abbreviation, with full citation provided in a note at first mention. .... [Footnote] 2. Francios Furet, The Passing of an Illusion: The Idea of Communism in the Twentieth Century, trans. Deborah Furet (Chicago: University of Chicago press, 1999), 368 (hereafter cited in text as PI) (Subsequent text references:) "In this sense, the Second World War completed what the First had begun-the domination of the great political religions over European public opinion." Furet points out (PI, 360). But he goes on to argue ... An abbreviation differs from a short title (see 16.45) in that words may be abbreviated and the word order changed. .... [It goes on to give an example where the reference to the 'Records of the Governor and Company of the Massachusetts Bay in New England' are abbreviated 'Mass. Records'. ] =================== The note on Short title (16:45) says in part The short title contains the key word or words form the main title. An initial 'A' or 'The' is omitted. The order of the words should not be changed. ..... The short title is italicized or set in Roman according to the way the full title appears. ==================== So it is a real option with the style. Not just a printer of software issue.
