Hi all,

        I have a set of macros at the beginning of my database:

@string{cup = {Cambridge University Press}}
@string{pup = {Princeton University Press}}

I created these in BD using the Database -> Macros feature. I think I must not quite understand how the macros work, because when I enter, e.g., "pup" in the publisher field of a book entry, the abbreviation is not expanded when I run latex and bibtex. I get "pup" in the reference list instead of my intended Princeton University Press.

This behavior occurs no matter which style I use (at least on plplain, plainnat, and my home-cooked file). What do I need to be doing to make the macro expand?

Best,
-Nathan
