Hi, Thanks for the advise so far.
Paula, you're spot on in that I only want to disable spouse events for the 1st generation. When I moved to Legacy a few years back the reviews suggested this was one of the best packages for report generation and book publishing, however now I'm trying to use it in anger I have to say I'm quite disappointed at its capability and limitations such as this. I've so far encountered numerous issues such as only one picture per event can be displayed or no pictures are displayed for marriages, but bit by bit I'm trying to find workarounds and at the moment this ones stumping me. I'm not keen on generating pdfs or rtfs and then re-editing docs. after all what's the point of the publishing center if thats what you have to resort to. I also work as a software engineer and I'm used to using tools that generate manuals from basic text and information in the code, so if we can do this for the software industry I'd have though it could have been done in Legacy as well. regards Paul On Tue, Nov 19, 2013 at 11:19 PM, Paula Ryburn <paula.ryb...@sbcglobal.net>wrote: > Paul, I see your point.
