The mailing list participants requesting changes to Legacy 5 book reports are planning to share reports with living relatives. Those concentrating on data entry may be ignoring report problems. The wording for single parents and unmarried couples should not hurt the feelings of living descendants who might be the best sources of family stories.
The count of children needs to be optional because a family historian may have to prepare a branch file to limit a report to the direct line or a region. "They had one child" would be misleading if the same couple had "three known children" in a more detailed version of the same family history. Just created a Legacy Narrative more than 1600 pages and saved as a PDF. One name on page 1328 matched the page number in the index, no pictures. I wouldn't want to edit a report that size in a word processor and hope to find all problems with report wording or privatize settings. Two problems noticed -- some dated marriages out of order and spacing of notes (run-together words.) GEDCOM downloaded from an Internet web site would need custom import option set in Legacy 5. ----- Original Message ----- > Remember, not everyone wants it changed--only a handful.
