But only on single pages -- arranging breaks it (no error, but no text). Further I tried to limit the name to the first 3 (or some) letters. Your \getthreetokens from a former mail doesn't work with the \GetFirst/Last macros, neither with \doboundtext. I presume I must insert a \expandafter somewhere, but I don't understand TeX's macro expansion. I also tried \limitatetext -- it works with the \GetFirst/Last macros, but it shows at least one word (the complete name), where I need only some chars up to the given width. Next issue: What are the third parameters of \limitatetext and \doboundtext for? In the examples there's only \unknown in it...
