To reinforce what Terry said, consider this scenario (with automatic Name-Marr Tags for each marriage): Mary Smith marries (1st) John Green and he dies. Mary then Marries (2nd) Joe Brown Mary thus has three Name Tags one Name-Var (the Primary) Tag as Mary Smith, one Name-Marr as [Mary] Green, and one Name-Marr as [Mary] Brown. These three names will shown in the Picklist, the Project Explorer, and (as selected) in printed reports. Note that the Name-Marr Tags have no entry in the GivenName field of the Name-Marr Tags and the [Mary] above means that the GivenName is inferred from the Primary Name-Var Tag. In the second Marriage Tag, we may select Mary's married name from her first marriage indicating that she is Mary Green when she marries Joe Brown. Now, if Mary always went by her nickname of "Polly", we can add a Name-Nick Tag with the GivenName of Polly (and no Surname). If we select a name other than her Primary Name in her first Marriage Tag, we can select her Nickname as she was then known or called -- Polly Smith. We can also select that as her name for the second Marriage Tag, but she was probably known as Polly Green at that time. However, Polly Green is not available as a selection. In this case, we need to add a Name-Nick of Polly Green (probably dated as the date of (or right after) the first marriage) and make sure that both GivenName and Surname are entered since neither are Primary Names. Now, we can select Polly Green as a selected name for the second Marriage Tag. Lee
