If I had a list of names (one below the other) and wanted to add Joe Bloggs below Jane Bloggs I would put "Jane Bloggs" in the Find What field, then in the Replace With field I'd type "Jane Blogss" then click on the CR button (below left on that screen) then type "Joe Bloggs" then again click on the CR button. Don't actually type the quotation marks. -- 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://support.legacyfamilytree.com Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
