Re: eliminating same author

Natalie (and everyone else who gave me advice),

This process worked!  Thank you so much! It didn't work for
me because I
highlighted the name in word and excluded author for each
instead of
highlighting the citation in the LH window.

This is now a big timesaver!  Thank you! Good luck with
your
dissertation.
