Thanks, Friends, I'm duly chastised :-( Though I had in my draft letter written 'I have looked at Legacy help without success', but deleted it as something that should be taken for granted.
Even after using Legacy for a number of years, I had not realised that the main help system was not universal. The problem in this instance is that the Ahentafel number is not listed in Legacy help as a numbering system - only the Henry, d'Aboville and de Villiers systems are listed. That's perhaps something that should be explored further, as in most software the generic help includes everything, and on a special screen one gets context-sensitive help. The numbers I referred to are clearly Ahentafel numbers - thanks, Wendy. And no, I don't think one can turn them off. Cathy, Thanks for your comments; No, I don't have 'John Brown' marked as unmarried - I can't make a positive statement one way or another about his marital state. I was hoping that Marriage was treated like other events in that one had full control of the wording somewhere that I had missed so that I could achieve my goal of 'John Brown had a child. Marriage status unknown'. But although at the bottom of the Marriage screen there are 'wording options', that doesn't seem to help, and if under 'marriage status' one adds 'Unknown', the report then reads 'John married. Marriage status Unknown' (which is very curious) rather than what I'm trying to achieve. Where is the 'had a child' wording switched on and off, please? And yes, I've looked at 'Help' :-)) Alastair *** Give the gift of Legacy for the holidays!
