Thanks, John - that has solved the problem. We had a filter for
AutoAlerts (Ovid) which was importing FA and AU to Author. I have
edited that filter, and that seems to have solved the problem.
Most grateful - this was driving me to distraction, and my poor
colleagues also! I would never have thought of this.
Best wishes,
Keith
