It recognized the nickname because it's in quotes, and in the Descendant Narrative report, it will use the quoted name, which is what I want. (Under Report Options/Format, I have selected "Use quoted names for narratives"). What I don't want is that sentence "She was usually called Lizzie.", which comes at the end of the paragraph. The sentence seems silly since it used the nickname in the previous sentence.
Example: James Smith married Elizabeth "Lizzie" Jones. Lizzie was born on September 8, 1800. She was usually called Lizzie.
