What is this about 'the new standard United States' - has the name changed?...I haven't heard anything and don't find anything about it. Maybe just in context with Legacy, that they have changed from USA to US??

This Asa Brown thread actually got started because I noticed that Legacy is still using USA in its Asa Brown sample file, that is shipped with Legacy, and not the new standard United States. I should have created a different thread when I mentioned the ALL CAPS, a different issue. I use ALL CAPS for the country only, such as CANADA, because it looks really good that way and makes the country easy to spot. I don't use ALL CAPS for surnames because Legacy already allows me to display surnames in ALL CAPS. I am not suggesting Legacy make the countries an ALL CAPS display option because not everyone uses the "standard" location for country. However, if they could make it an option only for those who wanted it, it would be excellent. I hope this explains it a bit better.

It is utterly absurd to classify using capital letters in a genealogy program as shouting.

Wish I knew how to answer you because I think I actually understand what you need. Maybe you could call someone or redirect your email straight to Geoff? I was actually interested in the answer. Good luck!

They already have the option to display surnames in all CAPS which I use and I'm very happy with the result. I do the same thing myself for COUNTRIES only. The SHOUTING assertion applies to sentences, not single words in all CAPS for emphasis and to spot easily.

I just looked and my sample (the one I install) doesn't have all caps. For any of the names or any of the locations. Anyway, let me know what you are seeing. If you want the newest sample just delete your sample file and re-install from our website and it will give you the latest sample file that we use.

Some surnames have embedded caps and some do not, but they are spelt the same way, except for the caps. As for states and countries, no way either. We do not need to be shouting in our data.

It still has USA. Just bringing this to your attention if the programmers want to make sure it is set to the new standard in the sample file that many new users might look at. On a side note, I always capitalize the name of the COUNTRY because I want it to stand out the same way that many of us choose to have Legacy capitalize all the SURNAMES. As far as I know, this won't cause any problems with gedcoms, except I'm not positive if some of the programs might try to change it back to just initial capitals. Does anyone know?
