Can't get Manufacturer to show up in Product Listing page

[KismetDesign]

I have an issue and a question about manufacturers.

I've read documentation on being able to categorize products under certain manufacturers, and why this would be a good thing. I agree. Only I need my 'manufacturers' to be 'authors' instead.

I would like to be able to use our authors names as a way to track the eBooks they have available on our site.

Can I do that?

Also, when I fill out the information for the product listing, there isn't an option for 'manufacturer'. I need to have this option availalbe so I can fill it out, and then I need it to display on the info page.

I have a feeling I might have screwed this up before I knew anything substantial about Zen Cart.

Can someone help me?

Thank you.

PS. I'm running the latest version of Zen Cart

There is a comprehensive mod that extends Zen Cart to handle books and includes special searches (e.g. Author, ISBN).

You might have a look at this one. See this thread

I did get the first issue figured out, and I may install the mod (not yet). I still have one more question... how can I just switch the word 'manufacturer' to show up as 'author' instead?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
