Hi Teresa,

The problem is that I have only one [WO]. When there are 2 or more [WO]
names, the sentence works, but when there are only 2 people in the household
(Head and wife, Head and child, etc.) the sentence reads "Enumerated with
John Smith WERE Mary Smith".

To be clearer, what I am looking for is a variable so that the sentence
would work with just one [WO] (Enumerated with John Smith WAS Mary Smith),
or with two or more [WO] (Enumerated with John Smith WERE Mary Smith and
Betty Smith). Is there a way to include a variable depending on the number
of [WO]?
