Thank you all. I guess I will have to do some different inputting now, because I put all my events/facts and everything else into Personal Display Notes using ordinary text format. From there it can unfortunately not be transferred in its present form into Family View.

There are places all over Legacy where you can input information. Apart from the straightforward Names, Birth, Baptism etc which appear by default on the Individual's Information screen there are inputs for various fields in the Events/Facts section, there are several Notes fields - on the Marriage Screen, behind an icon on the Family or Individual Info views, behind the + signs next to the BMD fields, there are several address fields - Event, Mailing and Repository which are accessed from the + signs, or from icons or from the Source screens. In addition, there are various fields which are calculated by Legacy and which do not have to be input by you, such as Relationship or Soundex Code. If you add, for argument's sake, the Relationship field to the Family view, Legacy will fill this for you automatically. If you add, say, the Cause of Death field, you will need to click on a person's Notes icon, select the Medical Tab and enter the Cause of Death in that field. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
