It sounds like you have some hidden format control characters. If this is in a notes field, try using the "Strip HTML" function. I'm not sure if it will help the period/vertical bar problem, but I think it may help your spacing issues. You can also try cutting and pasting to Notepad and then back again.

Sorry, I just noticed that I referred to the symbol that has replaced the periods in Reports as 2 horizontal lines – not sure where my head was, but it should be 2 VERTICAL lines. I just did a google search and it is called a vertical broken bar (or double vertical broken bar in my situation). I have since noticed that this only happens to Events in Reports. Even if I go and delete the event and re-enter a new event with the same wording, the vertical broken bar shows up in the same place when I run a Report. For example, the abbreviation "St." -- anywhere that I have referred to St. Paul's Cathedral, or St. John, the period is removed and the broken bar symbol is in it's place. If I go to the event and delete the period, the Report looks fine. If I go back and add the period, the broken bar symbol is back in the Report. The broken bar symbol is also replacing periods between sentences. How do I report this to Legacy? Thanks for your help. Laurel __________________________ I just downloaded version 8.0.0.467 and have come across the following after the update: 1) Additional spaces between words were added to my transcribed sources under the Text of Source screen in Master Sources. About 25% of my sources were affected. The extra spaces were just random – anywhere from an additional one to 5 spaces between words. (Eg: a Bronze Memorial has been installed). I was able to go in and delete all these added spaces – it was just time consuming to have to do so. 2) Anything that was bolded was particularly affected - there were extra spaces before and after many bolded words. But after removing the extra spacing around bolded words and saving, the extra spacing would come back. I actually had to change the words from bold to normal to be able to remove the extra spaces. If I tried to rebold the word afterwards, the extra spacing would come back. 3) In reports – Indiv., Family, Ancestor & Desc., in random places the period and any spaces around the period, have been replaced by 2 horizontal lines. (Eg: Married in the Anglican Church of St||Paul’s||Witnesses were Sally....). The horizontal lines have a break in the middle, but I don’t have the symbol on my keyboard to show you. I have ran a Check/Repair, Compact File and booted my computer, but these issues are still there. I can live without the bolded words, but the reports don’t look too pretty with the missing spaces and || in place of periods. Is anyone else noticing this?
