GenerationGoneBy 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2004 One feature I love about TMG 5.0 is that you can create an unlimited number of names for a person. At times, I want to add information to the name, that I want to print in reports, but I would prefer for that information to not show up in my indexes. For instance: I include the age of the person in my census name tags. So I might have the following names for a person. Betty Doe (age 3) in 1870 census Betty Doe (age 12) in 1880 census Elizabeth Smith (age 33) in 1900 census. On my index, I only want the name of the person without the age, like this. Doe, Betty Smith, Elizabeth This is very easy to get in TMG 5.0. First you need to create a new name style. I have one for each census year, but this isn't necessary. (I just like it that way. ) On my OUTPUT TEMPLATE, the output is: [Enumerated Name] [surname] [age on census] on 1870 census This will print "Betty Doe (age 3) on 1870" census in my reports. And on the SURNAME DISPLAY TEMPLATE, the output is [surname], [Enumerated Name]. This then displays on my index as Doe, Betty. Another way I use this is for wills. The name in the report might be Betty Doe, (daughter of James Smith). But the name in the index will be Doe, Betty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
