Cathy,
If this is the case -
There is an enhancement request in, I believe, to
add Marriage events to Individual reports. How it then remains
an
Individual report is a mystery to me but then I don't use them
so
can't really comment. :-)
Then why do marriage dates and places and spouses appear on an
Individual Report at all? They are on the Marriage Information screen
along with Marriage Events.

Hi Gary,
The Help file clearly states that these codes ONLY work in the
Marriage Events. There is an enhancement request in, I believe, to
add Marriage events to Individual reports. How it then remains an
Individual report is a mystery to me but then I don't use them so
can't really comment. :-)
That said, these codes don't yet work as there is no place yet to
give the Married Surnames of Husband and Wife. Legacy can only guess
at Women's married surnames as it does in the Calendar Creator - so
it is often wrong in these days where in cultures where the woman
used to take the husband's surname on marriage, this now often
doesn't happen - let alone other cultures where women have never
taken the husband's surname. Note the provision is being made for
Husband's who change their surname on marriage as well.
