Thanks for your response. The problem is that I'm getting a repitition of
the information. I'm getting Richard's information when I "look up" Mary and
Mary's when I look up Richard.

Pat,
If I understand you correctly what you are getting seems to be correct. The
point of the "Don't repeat duplicate lines" refers to the whole line of
descendants from, in your case, Richard and Mary.
AS far as I know it is not possible to select only one of the spouses to
have the details of the marriage, and nor would I wish to. If I were to look
up Richard I would wish to see the full details of *his* life including any
marriages. Similarly if I looked up Mary I would want the full details of
*her* life including marriages. I would *not* wish to have to search for
another page.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Multiple Lines of Descent .pdf--how to avoid
repetition of info
Date: Mon, 25 May 2009 14:40:29 -0400
I have created a Multiple Lines of Descent .pdf and
would like to avoid repetition of info.
On Report Options under the Format tab I chose (and
saved and reloaded) the option that says "Don't repeat duplicate
lines."
However, the .pdf it completely repeats the
information for generation 2.
The situation is this:
William and Mary Husbandsparents have son
Richard.
Neil and Janet Wifesparents have daughter
Mary
Richard and Mary marry
In the Husbandsparents 2nd generation line the .pdf
gives ALL the events, etc., for Richard, the marriage, and Mary (in that
order);
In the the Wifesparents 2nd generation line the
.pdf gives ALL the events, etc., for Mary, the marriage, and Richard (in
that order).
I have LOTS of (not-very-interesting to begin with)
information and many (very interesting to me mostly background)
pictures --
all-in-all 24 pages that get repeated unnecessarily.
It seems to me awkward to have ALL the events of
Richard's life appearing in the Wifesparents line to begin with -- and
moreso
since they're a repetition.
I would like to have Richard and all his events in
the Husbandsparents line and all Mary's events in the Wifesparents line,
and
avoid repeating them.
It seems to me that avoiding repetition of
duplicate lines should mean that events don't get printed twice.
I don't think there's a way to edit a .pdf; am I
right? Also, I don't think there's a way to automatically include pictures
except in a .pdf -- is that correct?
I would appreciate your ideas as to how I can work
around these problems!
Pat
