Chris,
You can do this I believe by creating a name tag for William and suppressing
the surname in the name. You might want to try that.

This format seems not to be provided for in TMG as [PAR] is fixed to
provide the full primary names of the parents.
The form I would wish for would be that used in Journal Reports in the
NEHG Register, i.e. "son of Willliam and Josie (Maidenname) Philp". I
can get the female part of this by using as primary a name with
"(Maidenname)" included (I use Presurname for this but others may use
Suffix). But there is no way to get the male part to drop the surname.
The nearest I can then get is "son of William Philp and Josie
(Maidenname) Philp". I then have to go through Journal Reports in Word
and delete the first "Philp" both from references to "son/daughter of
..." and from references to "Children of William Philp and Josie
(Maidenname) Philp" at the start of each Children's section. It would
save me having to do about 40,000 edits in Word if there was a way of
reformatting the contents of [PAR] and [PARO]. I believe [FATH] and
[MOTH] also can only return the primary name so there is no way around
the problem by using those variable instead of [PAR]..
