How to italic certain words
If you italicize "et al.," be sure to include the period in the italics. But
note that there's no good reason for italicizing "et al." any more than, say, "etc." -- Suzanne S.

How to italic certain words
It was my Ph.D. thesis. The usual practice is to put "et al" for quoting
other people's works. "etc" will not be acceptable by the uni. Thanks Suzanne "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... If you italicize "et al.," be sure to include the period in the italics.

How to italic certain words
I was not suggesting that you substitute "etc." for "et al." My point was
that "et al." is a common abbreviation in English, just as common as "etc." and consequently does not need to be italicized. I would have thought that someone who is earning a Ph.D. (in any subject) would be a better reader. I would also hope that a doctoral candidate would have a better understanding of the use of "et al." than "The usual practice is to put 'et al' for quoting other people's works." The correct use of "et al." (again, note the required period; the phrase is an abbreviation of "et alii," meaning "and others") is as a substitute for the names of additional authors when there are more than a prescribed number (the number varying depending on the style you are following). Generally, up to three authors are named in full; when there are four or more, "et al." comes into play. -- Suzanne S.

How to italic certain words
Not ones in common use, no. Most style manuals discourage use of, say, op.
cit. and ibid. at all, but when they are used, they need not be italicized. -- Suzanne S.

Hey Lamb Chop,
First - I loved you as a child. How's Sherry? Second - Adopt my personal philosophy: "If you learn something new at work, you get to leave early."
