Hi Joe,
The convention is to enter women with their maiden name - in your example
Mary Ann BACON
You then enter each of her marriages.
If you have already entered a second or third marriage, they don't
have to be entered in order but for reports to read correctly you
need to look at the Spouse list and put them in order. You can do
this by using the View menu and going to Spouse List or by right
clicking on her in Family View and choosing View > Husband List.
The reports then read correctly.
Some enter the various married names as AKAs so that she can show in
the Name List and Index View with her various surnames. You need to
turn on the option to include AKAs in the Name List and to include
AKAs in the Index View.
See both under the Options button.
I don't do this but add a Spouse columns in Index View.

Several of my male ancestors married widows, so I have a situation
where Thomas Austin(my 4x g grandfather) married Mary Ann Millyard
in 1804. she being the widow of James Millyard whom she married in
1797(he died in 1801) when she was Mary Ann Bacon, how do I record
her marriages to show the name changes without entering her as two
people. Regards Joe Austen in OZ
