You really should out the name first, then rebuild it new in 95.

If you only change the name, sometimes it does not overwrite the field and only adds to it, especially with long names. Thats why I was taught to out and then add a new name.

I was taught the same to out then enter new, in some cases I have seen if you try to overwrite a short name you can't enter a longer name.

Here is the trick - enter a comma

Old Name: Jonathon Smith

Entry methods:

New Name: Sally Jones = Sally Jonesith
New Name: Sally, Jones = "Sally Jones" (overwrites all)
