Kathleen,

Has you had no further questions yesterday I hope you are not at the data
entry level.

There was a feature in v5 I wanted to make sure you knew about but didn't
want to complicate things before you got the system set up.

V5 lets you choose the name to print in a sentence. The way the census
sentence is set up:

[P] is head of household on the census <of [D]> <[L]> <as [M2].> <[M1]>. <
Enumerated with him were [WO].>

All the witnesses [WO] print with whatever their primary name. However in
version 5 when you add a witness in the upper right hand corner it will say
primary name. You can click on the arrow and choose a name. This allows you to
choose the name as it was actually shown on the census.

I generally have a Name-var for all variations of a person's name that I've
found. But for married ladies this would always show their maiden name (as that
is what I use for reports). Consequently I've created a Name-census (which I
never select for reports) to enter the ladies name as shown on the census.
(thanks Teresa <g>)

As I enter the census head and then the census-enum next I will have to go
back to the census head and add the correct census name. But this is just as
easy as you go to the witness tab of the tag entry screen, double click on the
witness and select the name to print.

Many of my censuses were entered before roles, etc and I'm waiting to correct
them until I finally convert to v5 (waiting for journal report). I can hardly
wait to use this feature!!!

BTW my mother's name was Kathleen also. Her pet peeve was people calling her
Kath-a-leen.
