Since the event is listed under an individual, you don't need to use the actual name. You could use [his/her].
On 2 Jan 1900, her death notice appeared in The Newspaper. CE Date: Wed, 4 Sep 2013 20:50:48 +1000 Subject: [LegacyUG] Conditional Sentence Definitions From: kmthoms...@gmail.com To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sorry to ask yet another question about Sentences, but this one is more about Conditional Formatting within a definition. I have an event "Death Notice" - everyone is likely to have one (no-one is immortal afterall) Because females typically change their surname at the time of their marriage, death notices are usually published in the married name rather than the maiden name. Males usually don't change their surname. As such, what I want my sentence to do for my Death Notice event is to produce one of two possibilities. For males and unmarried females - use the preferred given name and surname For married woman - use the preferred given name but use the married surname As an example... Jane Doe, dies unmarried on 1 Jan 1900, death notice is published on 2 Jan 1900 in The Newspaper. The sentence should read roughly like On 2 Jan 1900, the death notice for Jane Doe appeared in The Newspaper. (any notes)(sources) However, if Jane Doe had married John Blow at some point, then her death notice sentence should read On 2 Jan 1900, the death notice for Jane Blow appeared in The Newspaper. A male would have the same sentence result regardless of marital status due to no change of name. I know that there are some Conditional things that can be written in to the Sentence Definitions (living vs deceased words, buried vs cremated), but I can't figure out the [:: :: ] combo for this sentence to work. Anyone know how I can achieve this, or am I currently asking too much of the program? Thanks.
