zanemc 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2007 Hi I've been inlcuding a person's nickname within " " in the given name . Howver I've just discovered that this causes problems in the surname index on the Descendant report & other reports Example " Desmond "Des" McIntryre appears on the Surname index as McIntyre , Desmond Ronald "Ron" McIntryre appears on the Surname index as McIntyre , Ron That is it ignores everyjtimg after " .?? Any suggestions as to how I can overcome this problem.?? Thanks Zane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zanemc 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2007 For your information , I've resolved my own problem !!!. I replaced the " " with () and presto the full name appears in the index , e.g. McIntryre Ronald (Ron) rather then just McIntryre Ronald. ....and that ggood news !! Must have something to do with Word's indexing ? Zane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
