Thank you, Gert.

I tried the first step (ie., the ones with three names) and it sort-of worked. But it changed the surnames (now shown as the first name with a comma following) to normal text and changed the last of the given names to the character style for surnames. That needs to be ironed out.

I didn’t try the formula for two names because it seems to me that it is likely to pick up the last two names of all the previously-changed three-name entries and swap those two names around, inserting another comma. Could I get around that by inserting a ^p before the grep expression in both the “find” and “replace” slots? (I am a babe-in-the-woods when it comes to grep.)

I am also curious to see what other suggestions people may come up with when they return from the holiday break.
