I'm glad to have discovered there is a notes place for events. There are times I want to comment on the event and add my interpretation and how it is important.
There are a lot of features in legacy deluxe to discover. I was using mine in a way that basic would have sufficed, and want to start using all the features. But it will take awhile to learn them. Especially since I'm also trying to research a lot and other stuff happens, like having to deal with a computer browser freezing problem for several hours this morning. It was major frustrating. Thank you for responding, Michele.
