Hi,
Thanks for your friendly answer.
So there is no way to do this with the built-in bibliography tools
alone? As lots of bibliography styles use Initials something like a
built-in filter would be nice.
Should I do this manipulation when the document is finished, or is it
possible to switch to a spreadsheet as bibliography database?
How do I copy the list of authors into a spreadsheet? When marking the
authors row by pushing on the "Author" field in the header row of the
bibliography database tool, the "edit -> copy" functionality is
deactivated. I also couldn't find any way to export the bibliography
database to a spreadsheet.
Thanks, Dietrich
