    Hello

    When I make a citation "in text" using the openoffice plugin, I often get the first initial of the author such as this:

    (J. Smith et al., 2008)

    When I should get this:

    (Smith et al., 2008)

    It consistently happens with certain citations in my database, and happens with every style that uses in text (author, date) type citations. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

    It's almost certainly this:

    Regards, Jon.

    maybe we need an FAQ on this, as this must be the third time this has come up
