Thanks to all of you that gave suggestions on how to work around the "She was usually called" problem. While working with the suggestions, I found that when the direct descendant has a nickname, the sentence comes before using the nickname in a sentence, which sounds okay. It's only when it's the spouse, that it comes after already being utilized in a previous sentence. Using Ron's advice to check the "remove quoted name" option, now I have a better finished product, even with the offending sentence.
P. S. Another thread got me playing around with creating a RTF of the report, which I hadn't tried in years.
