If you open the individual's screen where you see the name, birth, death, events, etc., there is an icon to the right of the name - three overlaid people. If you click on this, you get a screen where you can add alternate names. Click add and you can enter the first, last, middle, and any preceding or following titles. Alternately, if you add an event, one of the event types is AKA. While they seem to give you the same information, I don't know if the program offers special functionality for one or the other that would make it more advantageous to use one or the other.
Does that make sense?
