Jenny and Dan: I use the extended character set frequently for German and Norwegian characters and haven't noticed any problems. If it were a general issue with extended characters, wouldn't it apply to those (such as Alt 0223 for ß) as well as to the em dash, or am I out of my league in the troubleshooting arena?

Hi Jenny, I've notice the same thing about em dashes and for the same reasons. As a result, have reluctantly resorted to using two dashes as in -- until this is fixed in Legacy (waiting and hoping patiently).

When I quote text from documents, newspapers, etc I like to make the transcription as accurate as I possibly can, so I copy all punctuation, abbreviations, etc. In newspaper BMD announcements in particular, the use of the em dash is quite common. I have been using Alt-0151 to insert the em dash where required, for example "Benson—On the 4th...", when entering text into Event Notes or Source Detail Text. However, I have now noticed that if I open that screen again there have been 2 spaces added after the em dash, "Benson— On the 4th..." If I make some change and save that screen, next time I go in there will be 2 *more* spaces inserted after the em dash. If I don't re-save the screen just the 2 spaces remain. If I delete the spaces and save the screen there will be 2 spaces again next time I open it. Now, is this a true bug or am I, in using the extended character set, asking for something which Legacy is not designed to do? -- Jenny M Benson 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
