The surnames and places are from present day Czech Republic. PAF supported the Unicode character set, but apparently Legacy does not - at least not yet.

Which language are you working with? I remember you said'Eastern European, So we are talking about of the Cyrillic ones. That is one of the groups I don't use, but I have seen it discussed occasionally. Maybe someone working in them could help you. Rich in LA CA ----- Original Message ---- From: Richard Doherty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Wednesday, June 4, 2008 6:06:34 AM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Estern European characters in name and place fields Thanks for the follow-up Rich. I cut and pasted your "Ølstøren" into a location in my Legacy db and it displayed correctly. So I next looked at the Character Map (via the ribbon) and both of those "O" characters with the slash were already in the Legacy character map. In my case, the special letters that are already in the character map appear fine, the ones that do not appear in the map are displayed as a "?". I am only missing 5 letters that I need. I have not seen a Legacy response to this question yet. Dick Richard M.

I remember having done it, but forgot what I did to accomplish this. Since Swedish is in the available languages for reports, I don't know if that affects anything. Also, I had originally used the Alt-xxxx to create the previous mentioned note-list. My characters have always printed on Legacy reports. Here is an example of a name. 'Ølstøren' Some servers may change this now. What should show up is the Norwegian character O with a slash through it, 1 capital, 1 small. This may be a good test.

When I cut and paste from PAF or Windows, Legacy displays a questionmark. Dick Richard M.

I then went to the Master list, Locations, and editted the spelling, by pasting the characters as required. Since it can sort them by nation, state,county,town; the unfixed ones will jump out in one place. And you can change a state name once (also county), then copy paste on top of the others. A lot easier than using the Alt-#### tool.

I bought Legacy V.6 and tested the import with some small PAF databases - Great! Now I received V.7 and imported my main db which contained Eastern European (Unicode) characters. The results of the import were mixed. Some were brought over correctly, while others generated 2 characters and at times made the name unreadable. The successful letters are: š ž ÿ á é í. The ones I still need (based upon my current database) are: č ě ň ř and Ř. Does anyone know a work-around for this? I attempted to copy/paste from PAF but each one showed up as a question mark in Legacy. Does Legacy have plans to add this support? If so, would this be an update to V.7, or a new release? What is the priority of this feature? Thanks for an otherwise great product! Dick Richard M.
