You can change the wording for sentences in the Master Event list and it will carry over to each person using that event. You can also change them for an individual but it will not be a "global" change. Mary -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michele Lewis Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2007 10:18 AM To: Legacy E-Mail List Subject: [LegacyUG] I am very frustrated I printed out a test run of a descendancy report of one of my ancestors (just a couple of generations worth) and the output is not good. I would have to import this report into Word and clean it up. All of the wording is wrong, formating is wrong etc (based on the standards in place by the Board for Certification of Genealogists and the wonderful book Professional Genealogy by Elizabeth Shown Mills, as well as her citation books). I am not saying that the report should be coming out perfect and I am glad that you can change the wording on the event fields (sentence override) but I am going to have to go in and pretty much change the wording on all of the event fields (and I am thinking that I am going to have to do this on each individual and that any changes I make will not carry over person to person). I know that the new version of Legacy will have a source wizard of sorts that will format the sources to comform to the standards outlined by Elizabeth Shown Mills but I wonder if there should be a data wizard that will make sure that all of the data is in a standarized format. Having a feature in the program where you can input your data into a book format is not helpful if there are so many errors in how it comes out. There is no way someone could just hit the button and POOF! a formatted book comes out. You would have to import the entire book into Word and clean it up which would take countless hours (might be easier to just type it in from scratch using a printout from Legacy as your notes). I do want to say that I really do like Legacy. It has a lot of great features that the other programs don't have but this is a shortcoming and I am hoping this is an area where there will be some improvement.
