I'm trying to create a list of all names in my database. I've found "canned" list for Boy and Girl Names but they only list the first NAME tag and none of the other NAME tags for an individual.
I can't figure out how to create a query that displays an individual and all of the NAME tags they have. Most women have several NAME tags (Birth and Married) and because we are talking about Norwegian names a large percentage of men will have multiple NAME tags as well.
So my question is how to use FH7 to generate a NAME list for all individuals and all NAME tag occurrences?
Thanks

Re: How to generate a list of ALL names
This will return the first name - %INDI.NAME[1]%
This will return the second name - %INDI.NAME[2]%
and so on
By first name I don't mean a persons given names, I mean [1] will find their usual name shown in the property box and [2] will find their first Alternate Name you have entered using the +More dialog etc.
Just repeat for however many alternate names that individuals have in your database

Another option is to use the Search All Possible Names plugin and leave the search fields blank.

I was after something similar, however, when running the plugin, it ran into problems with the diacritics on my Polish names ...

Yes, that is quite an old plugin and does not correctly handle UTF-8 Unicode accented letters and symbols.
It will substitute a ? for any accented letter such as your Polish diacritics but otherwise I think it works OK.
Ideally, it needs to be updated for FH V7 standard plugin mode and support UTF-8 characters.
