Peace of cake :-) Click on the button labelled "+++" to open the=20
"Automatically create groups" dialog. Change the default grouping field=20
from "keywords" to "author". "Characters to ignore" should remain " .,"=20
(default), "[x] Use delimiters" should be ", " (you'll need to enter the=20
space following the comma, default is only ",". Slight drawback is that=20
you'll now have groups for your authors' first names, which you'll have t=
o=20
delete manually.
