BINGO! That little step makes all the difference in the world (the divil is in the details)! I tried it and it seems to work great both for e-pubs and PDFs. Thank you!
I actually had the foresight to make a backup copy of my libraries before I started mucking about with this FN LN to LN, FN business. Now, before I do anything else stupid, should I replace the altered library with the backup library and go through the steps again, including the author sort tweek and this latest tweek, to change the FN LN to LN, FN or would just changing the tweek be OK?
