Unfortunately this work around doesn't! I have several people, myself included, who are known commonly by a shortened version of their first name. By selecting 'use full given name' I get that for everyone, so William "Bill" becomes William throughout the report, Janet "Jan" becomes Janet throughout. Not what I want. Also, if I leave 'remove quoted names' selected in the marriage statement I get 'Janet Kay married Reginald George HAWTON blah blah. Marriage status: widowed. Reginald George "Reg" was born on blah blah blah.' Also - 'The following involved Reginald George HAWTON and Janet Kay "Jan" SULLIVAN and / or their children' (my introductory sentence for Marriage Events). It seems that 'remove quoted names' doesn't do that for the second name person in a couple. I think this is actually a problem in any instance where you have a couple named and have selected 'remove quoted names'.
