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

Hi,
- copy list of authors into spreadsheet into column A
- type formula =FIND(",";A1;1) into B1
- type formula =LEFT(A1;B1-1)&MID(A1;B1;3)&"." into C1

- copy&paste B1 and C1 into remaining rows
- copy&paste column C into your document

Regards, Jiri

Hi,

for a paper I have to only render the Initials of the first name in the
list of references:

   At the place of:  Anderson, David
   I have to use:    Anderson, D.

Any idea how to do that with the bibliography tools of libre office?

Thanks, Dietrich
