Mary,
To add to Jenny’s helpful reply: A suggestion would be to enter the beginning double bracket in the Event name without a space, following the Event Name. Example: Living[[…]] as opposed to: Living [[…]] When you type in the name of the event to bring it up, type a privacy bracket immediately following the event name. If you’ve saved an ‘edited event’ with the privacy brackets to alert you, typing the first bracket following the Event name will bring up the edited Event. If nothing shows up beyond the name of the event you’re wanting to use, no edited version has been saved. The privacy brackets option is one of the best features of Legacy, in my opinion. If you like to frequently change things around, using the same event, you can also still use and show the fields in your event list, but by taking out the canned sentences and just using [Notes][Sources] in the sentence definitions, you can enter/format the information in any way you wish in the notes section, which I tend to favor, as it reads easier in the narrative reports. Or you can pick and choose for a specific Event, depending on the fields filled in, which ones are free flowing and which ones are canned. Ticking show the 3 fields will only mean they will display and show any ‘filled in’ information in your Events list. The sentence definitions is what determines what is printed in the reports. Goof around until you arrive at what works best for you.

You could add something in privacy brackets to the Event Name so it would be immediately obvious to you that you'd changed something, but wouldn't print in Reports. For example Census [[Warning!]] or Education [[Don't change again!]]. -- 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).
