I can find the alternate names, but I don't have a clue about the proper
format for nicknames in Legacy :-). I know I don't like the Alternate Name
wording when applied to nicknames i.e. "Another name for Jacob was Wildcat."
I tried adding a nickname event so I could control the words but that prints
under "Noted events in his life were:" which seems a little stiff for a
nickname. As I recall, I had problems with the way FTM handled nicknames
also. I wish the programmers would just provide a real nickname slot. I have
a lot more nicknames than I do true alternate names.

Thanks--worked....so now that "begs the question"--what is the proper
format
for recording nicknames in Legacy. For example, if someone was named May
Elizabeth Scruggs, but she was always called "Mayme", in Family Tree
Maker,
I entered her name as May Elizabeth (Mayme) Scruggs. Is that not the
proper
format in Legacy? I know about the AKA place and was using it for names
they
might be found under when researching (rather than just a place for the
"went by")--is that the only place you would put "Mayme" (no quotes).
