Hi,
- copy list of authors into spreadsheet into column A
- type formula =FIND(",";A1;1) into B1
- type formula =LEFT(A1;B1-1)&MID(A1;B1;3)&"." into C1

- copy&paste B1 and C1 into remaining rows
- copy&paste column C into your document

Regards, Jiri

Hi,

for a paper I have to only render the Initials of the first name in the
list of references:

   At the place of:  Anderson, David
   I have to use:    Anderson, D.

Any idea how to do that with the bibliography tools of libre office?

Thanks, Dietrich
