Ron, I'm curious what exact combination 'worked' for you. As far as I can see, there is a no-win situation. The desireable outcome is: 1) The quoted name is still present in the initial full name; 2) The narrative uses the quoted name; and 3) The offending sentence "She was usually called ...." does not appear at the end of the narrative.
I don't think there is any combination of options that produces this result, and I agree with Wanda that there really should be. Someone else suggested a different enhancement option: placing the "usually called" bit at the beginning, right after the name, in which case the nickname need not be in the name. That would be OK too.

I suggest that you use the reset button on the bottom right of the screen. I'm afraid it will mean redoing all your report settings though. It is too late here for me to test it tonight, but if you haven't managed to resolve the problem, please leave a message on the list and I will have a look when I get up. Just a last thought, you could try File>File Maintenance>Check/Repair first. It may just work and save you resetting.
