I am still considering that option. On Thu, Dec 4, 2008 at 11:57 AM, Janis L Gilmore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> wrote: That is a good workable idea (most of Geoff's are). (-: However, something in me rebels against the "messiness" of throwing something into general notes. I like to enter each piece of data into its own little cell. Maybe because I was on TMG prior to Legacy. I would, in fact, like to see a somewhat more atomic approach within Legacy. (I just couldn't live with the crude TMG graphics. They drove me crazy. Call me superficial..... <g>) Janis On 12/4/08 2:33 PM, "Bruce Jones" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> wrote: Let me share an idea I got from Geoff Rasmussen. With the flexibility Legacy offers, we can consider entering data in more than one place, then use various options to only include what we want. For example, the biography data could be entered both as an event AND in the General Notes. - One time you could exclude the General Notes (or the portion in privacy brackets) and just get the information in the Events. - Another time you could include the General Notes but exclude one or all Event Notes. This can be done a number of ways: - Remove the "[notes]" from the Event sentence (requires more effort than the other methods below) - Make the event private and not including private Events - Put the Event Notes in privacy brackets and not include private notes There are very likely other ways to accomplish this. It does require more time in entering the data to get this flexibility so we need to be sure we want it. *** Holiday discounts on Legacy 7.0, add-ons, books, and more.<http://tinyurl.com/65rpbt>*** Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
