I apologize if I was unclear, Alexander. What I meant to express is
that - even if this Address Book workaround can largely resolve my
problem - to my thinking it is still just a workaround. When we have a
macro that is supposed to pick out the "First Name", then that macro
should ignore name prefixes. It should not pick up a name prefix like
"Mr." or "Ms." or "Dr." and think of that as a first name. In other
words, the macro should have some predefined exclusions, and users
should also be able to add to the list of exclusions. Then there would
be no need for this address book approach.

I am not a programmer, but I don't understand why this is so
difficult. When the cursor can jump to the end of a string, why can it
not jump to the end of a string plus one position forward? I might be
wrong about this, but I think this was the default behavior in the 1.x
series. I will have to check with a friend that is still using TB
1.62r (quite happily) to confirm this. But, just out of curiosity, why
is it so difficult to make the cursor go forward that little bit
extra... that would save people like me so much trouble?
