Hi Cheri,
thanks for responding.
Sorry, I believe I didn't make it clear that this was not a problem for me,
but that I just thought I'd mention it in case others might find it
helpful.
e.g. if I go in Project Explorer to my current married name, then set a
bookmark, my married name is marked but it still brings up my usual Details
window. If Project Explorer is not open or I have my primary maiden name
selected in PE, the bookmark sets my primary name.
As I mentioned, I actually do find it helpful and hope it's _not_ a bug to
be fixed, because I can set bookmarks to the name of a person I'm more
familiar with, like sometimes women under married names or persons with
common or nick names or similar.
For example, 2 persons with the same last name have the given names Harold
John, but one of them is really only known as Jack. I can set his bookmark
to his non-primary name tag Jack and the other (his father) to Harold John
for distinction.
