I made that Search and Replace mistake once. Fortunately, it was after a backup, which I restored.
A Search and Replace for "space plus single quote" with "space double quote" works better in this case for the first quote. Then, repeat for "single quote plus space" with "double quote plus space". -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of leo macdonald Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2007 12:32 To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Quoted Names I am in hopes that this letter will help those of you who are just starting out with your genealogy program. I have the latest updated version of Legacy Deluxe with a little over 50,000 names in my program. When I would enter a person's name into my program, if they had two or more Given Names I was unsure of how to highlight the persons everyday name, so for a person called: John Paul Smith who was called by his everyday name, Paul, I decided to enter it as follows: John 'Paul' Smith. This worked fine for me but then I had noticed that when I printed out any of the reports it would say that John married Mary Black, instead of Paul married Mary Black as I would have liked it to read. This is when I decided to suggest a New Feature to the programmers, Sherry responded to my request and informed me that I should have been using the quotation marks for the everyday Given Names: John "Paul" Smith and that in the Report Options I should go to the format tab and check off the "use quoted names for narratives" box. When I did this I tried the reports it worked correctly. This now left me with a large number of names in my program with (' ') around their everyday names. To correct this I preformed a search of Given Names with (' ') and replaced Given Names with (" "). This worked great, a little to great, I later found out that for some names like D'Arcy they now showed up as D"Arcy, so I had to go through the given names to correct these. This is when I discovered a bug in the Legacy program which I have reported, when I went to either the Surname of the Given Name list there was now two lists of names as follows: Smith, "John" Paul Smith, "Mary" Jane Smith, Allen Peter Smith, John Paul Smith, John "Paul" Smith, Mary Beth Sherry has sent this bug to the programmers and Brian has also advised me that it has been sent in. Now I find myself going through my entire name list to put (" ") around Given Names like: John Smith and Mary Jones. My thanks to both Sherry and Brian and I hope that this will help someone start off on the right path. If you want your reports to use a persons everyday Gived Name you have to use the Quotaton Marks and you have to check the box in the Report Options. Leo Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?
