Hello folks,
can anybody tell me how/what can I do to arrange the Table outcome to get the partner's name shown as "displayed name" instead of "full name"?
Thanks.

Dear Nand,

Thank you for your reply, but I feel I did not explain myself correctly. In "Personal Details" of each individual there are two different display options: "Full Name" (e.g. first, middle, third plus surname) and "Displayed Name", i.e. what will be written as name for that individual in the Table Layout. 

Sometimes/very often I customised, or had to customise, such a displayed name for some reason (homonimous name, necessity to list even nickname, necessity to list the middle name initial only, etc.). Therefore, the list of names to be displayed in my tree cannot follow a fixed name display structure. Therefore, I am looking for a way to use what is currently written in each "Displayed Name" field for each individual, as I was unable to find that way.

Thanks for your kind assistance.

There is one extra step required in Nand's explanation. After step 1 click on 'Individuals' then follow steps 2 an 3. There is a very long list of possible columns including 'Display Name'.
