Author's initials and space before :

EndNote EndNote Styles, Filters, and Connections
1

I am currently on Endnote 9 and am creating a new style for a journal.
The author’s names must appear like Smith AB (no dot, no space for the initials). Unfortunately, and whatever the option I try, the initials appear like Ab.
Secondly, I need a no-break space before : (because the journal is in French) and EndNote refuses absolutely to insert this space.
I have already noticed these 2 facts several times and the solution was to correct the bibliography once created. But this time I would like to provide this style to the editor of the journal, so I need something perfect.
Thank you for your suggestions,

Yes, I have thought about the initials in the record entry but they are all entered like A. B. so there is a space.

Thank you for your help.

Hi!  Have you tried setting the Author Name Capitalization to “As Is”?

Thank you for your suggestion but it doesn’t work because some authors’ names are entered in capitals and others not.

I will use the initials setting A B instead of AB. I have not other choice.

Thank you for this check. Maybe the impossibility to insert a space before : is also a bug.

Yes, that’s what I have thought.

Thank you for passing on those bugs.
