Help with Author - force output

Hello all,

I'm hoping someone who has done this recently, could assist.
I wouldn't know where to begin searching in the manual...

A chapter in a book I am referencing, was not 'written' by an individual(s), but rather "by" a Trade/Labour Union.
According to my reference style, BE correctly outputs "Union WPGW" as the author >> with the WPGW being a contraction of the union's complete name.

How would I work around this? Cannot see it happening too frequently - but would prefer, if possible, to NOT have to enter it manually into Scrivener.

As always - thanks for the help!

From p. 39 of the User Guide:

If the author is an institution, place a comma after the last character and Bookends will not attempt to format it when creating a bibliography. Commas elsewhere in the name will be output as entered. For example, you would enter "The American Council on Diet, Health, and Fitness" as

The American Council on Diet, Health, and Fitness,

Ahhh - now that I see that, I recall reading it. :oops:

Thanks Jon.

I still get surprised by all the features of BE's!
