Mark,

Journal names in the SilverPlatter version of Medline are abbreviated
with dashes e.g. Acta-Neuropathol-Berl. You could clean up your records
periodically by using find and replace to remove the hyphens for field 9
(Journal title) and replace with a space. You could also use find and
replace to replace abbreviated titles with the full title. As you will
likely have multiple records from the same journal, this will be quicker
than retyping each one.
