Michael Dietz 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2010 I have a gentleman whose name is given as U. S. Jamerson in every source I can find him. When I try to create a sentence with only his given name (U. S.) it gets truncated to just the U. portion. For instance I have a sentence which terminates with"... relevant to the family of [PF] and [POF]." What I get is "... relevant to the family of Ella and U.". Another example is "U. married Ella Crockett ..." instead of "U. S. married Ella Crockett ...". Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What I get is "... relevant to the family of Ella and U.". ------ Mike, try the variable [PG] which equals Principal, Given name. [PF] = Principal, First name. U. _is_ his first name... I do not know if there is a [POG], though Jan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JanisR 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2010 Mike, check out Help - Variables (Name Tags) and Variables (Event Tags) - there is a [POG] variable, along with many others... Jan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Byram 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2010 Help helps. Keep in mind that the name part that you are referring to is called the Given Name, not the First Name. [PG] Current Principal, Given name (Robert Joseph) [PF] Current Principal, First word of given name (Robert) [POG] Other Principal, Given name [POF] Other Principal, First word of given name Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Dietz 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2010 Thank you for the responses. I had looked in the Help many moons ago and as soon as I saw First Name I took that to mean the given name. My sloppiness. Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
