Hi,
Question please,

I select 3 books by william shakspeare - I hit e for edit - select authors in the drop down - put in what Im looking for and what I want to replace the text with sometimes it works others not, more often not.

eg I search for

Shakespeare William 1564-1616

and want to replace it with

William Shakespeare

I hit apply - ok - etc the text is not changed..

I apply a test the test shows up ok but still no change to author???

I must be doing something not quite right so a guiding hand would be appreciated.

Mind you its not a huge prob only 3 books to rename which only takes seconds to do manually BUT I'm curious after an hour or so of screwing around with it..

Actually is it possible to do a *.* in authors and replace with whatever I want?

What am I missing ?

Cheers and thanks in advance for all and any assistance..
