I sort of forgot how I did it, But about 3 years ago I added Swedish as an alternate language, and using the extra letters used in Swedish with the special characters. Even though most of my work is in American English, I use the Swedish alphabet order. If you change the language to French, the reports will print in French date rules. I have printed family group sheets in Norwegian, Tronder (dialect), Swedish, Danish, German. Hope this helps. Rich in LA CA
