If there are a fairly large number of "corrections" to be made why not
create a table with the generic term and the gender-based alternatives?
Then you should be able to loop through the text easily and replaced based
on whichever gender you want.
Easier to update or add to if need be as well.
eg:
Generic Male Female NonSpecific
Him_Her Him Her Their
He_She He She It
Just an untried thought,
Regards,
Alastair.

I think one of your best bets is to do as Larry suggested and make you own
function (stored procedure) that you can call.
I suspect someone on this list already has such a function written.

Dennis
I thought of that but extra spaces would look bad in the paragraph.
It seems I can come up with some strange needs in my APP.

Bummer,
As far as I can tell, it has worked that way for some time.
It does limit the usefulness of this function quite a lot.
You could change himer to a space but that may not be what you want.
