Hi Gene,
If you use the Quoted Name feature, you can do this.
Provided you have chosen to Use Quoted Name in Narrative in the
Report Options, First Name picks up the Quoted Name.
You need to enter the individual as
eg William John "John"
You can also choose in reports to Remove quoted name so that when his
full name is used it is: William John BLOGGS but the narrative reads:
John married ... John was a bricklayer ...
All but one of my mother's siblings went by other than first name so
I use this extensively.
Cheers,
Cathy

I have an individual who "goes by" his middle name. His record
includes several occupation events. In a report, these each start
off with "He worked as a..." and this reads rather poorly when they
are listed one after the other.
I realize the [HeShe] can be changed to [NameHeShe] which uses his
first name in the initial instance, then alternates with "He" in
subsequent instances. I would like to be able to substitute his
"alternate given name" so it reads more correctly, as this is the
name he goes by, and then alternate with "He".
Can this be done as Legacy 6 is currently designed? Failing that, I
would like to see it in an upcoming revision.
Thanks!
Gene
