Ah...thanks Kovid. I was a little puzzled by that element of the Check Book routine. It just seemed overly fussy to me as I’ve never encountered that problem. I do in general prefer sane, human-friendly names, but if it will lead to an easier life I might submit. 8-)

I do have a loathing for programmers’ problem with spaces though. Because of the use of spaces as delimiters, or bad assumptions about where you can put a space many, many organisations have never been able to actually record my surname correctly. I keep hoping programmers will get their act together before I die, but I’m not holding my breath.

Another thing I miss in the Calibre Editor is spell-checking. Is that planned?
