Howsagoin, After changing my BibTeX file, I now get errors of the form Too many commas in name 2 of "Carlisle, D.\,P. and Ratz, S.\,P.\,Q." for entry graphicx. The offending entry reads as follows: @Manual{graphicx, author = {Carlisle, D.\,P. and Ratz, S.\,P.\,Q.}, title = {The \texttt{graphicx} Package}, year = {1999}, } When I changed the \, commands to \thinspace the error was gone. I'm not sure if this is a bug, but I'd like to know if and what I was doing wrong. Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, Marc van Dongen
