Some of my data has come from a relative who I believe uses Ancestry as his database and a lot of the Individual names have come in with '/' s. For example: /MILLS/ Arthur Sidney shows in the Focus Window.
I guess it is only cosmetic but I would like to change them to my norm, Arthur Sidney Mills
Is there a Plugin that will do this?

I can't imagine how that kind of Focus Window displayed name is formatted in the Name field.
Please use the Property Box more (+)... link next to the Name: box and tell us what is in the Primary Name: box.
Alternatively, tell us what is the Name field on the All tab.

Just like in the Main tab of the Focus Window.

The All tab show it in the usual way and with its '/'s.

Ah! Peter, I think you are confusing the Focus Window with the Property Box.

The Focus Window has tabs for Spouses & Children, Parents & Siblings, Ancestors, and Descendants.

The Property Box has tabs for Main, Facts, Notes, Media, All and any custom tabs you may have defined, i.e. UK Census.

Let me see about a custom plugin to fix that unusual format.

Ooops, you dead right.

Try the attached Move Names After Surname to Forenames plugin Version 0.1 Date 08 May 2023.

It should move any names found after the /Surname/ to before to become forenames.
Beware that this might include any genuine suffixes such as Junior, Senior, etc.
So check the Result Set carefully.

Remember that Undo > Plugin Updates used before closing FH will reverse the plugin changes if necessary.

Worked like a charm, thanks very much Mike.
