There is no problem with quoted name in reports in main sentences or

Which is the correct standard?

I made that Search and Replace mistake once. Fortunately, it was after a
backup, which I restored.
A Search and Replace for space plus single quote with space double quote
works better in this case for the first quote. Then, repeat for single
quote plus space with double quote plus space.
Dear Leo
It has always been my understanding, that the person's full given name
should be left untouched, and the everyday name entered *in addition*, e.g.
John Paul John Smith
or
John Paul Paul Smith
or
John Paul Ginger Smith
Doint it this way, also avoids the quotation mark at beginning of
Mary
I agree with you. If his name is John Paul SMITH and he is known as John
then his name is simply entered as John Paul SMITH. However if he is
known as Paul then he should be John Paul Paul SMITH.
Thus, if he is John Paul Paul SMITH, in Reports, if you chose Remove
quoted given names he
such should be placed??

I think it should be done when someone goes by their middle name,
putting the middle name in quotes after the middle name not in quotes,
so John Paul Paul Smith, where John never went by his first name,

Hi Gary,
If you put the known as name in the AKA, you cannot choose to use
it in narrative.
So your narratives will read:

John worked in the railways
If you use the Quoted Name you'll get
Paul married
Paul worked in the railways.

Hi Myrna,
Like everything - it's ultimately up to you and how many names you
have - but also consider how others are going to interpret it.
My mother was Edith Beryl Joyce. She was known as Joyce. I don't put
that in an AKA because she wasn't ALSO known as Joyce, she was ALWAYS
known as
Another thing to consider - if you don't put the known as name also as
an AKA, persons who only know the known as name won't be able to find
them in the index. The index gives the option of including AKAs but of
including quoted names.

Your last example would be redundant. Legacy works as if John Paul
