Can't answer most of your questions but just check that you haven't accidentally got an override in force. What I can tell you is that the little tick box is nothing to dowith refreshing the Sentence, but tells Legacy to remove any leading commas on Locations. (ie, if you have entered a Location as ",,California, United States" if will print as "California, United States." -- 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).
