Hello Donna... and others who have kindly responded to this thread. As there wasn't much of a response by yesterday evening, I wrote to the Legacy Helpline directly and, as usual, got an immediate reply from Sherry today. The key to the problem is going to your Options>Customise>Data Entry/Edit and clicking the button <Don't change what I enter> under "Letter case of given names and locations". For you Donna, it would be under "Letter case of last name". After I had done that, and followed the rest of her advice, I got beautiful upper case letters where I wanted to keep them!
She suggested that I post her advice on the LUG.... here it is. Jim, <snip> I created a test gedcom of a focus group with a Mary O'Brien and two locations of "MT, USA". After I created the gedcom, I took a look and the caps were exported correctly. I then imported the gedcom into a new file, making sure that the option "Format names and places" was checked and the names imported correctly. This option will refer the import to the options set in Options > Customize > Data Format - I have "Don't change what I enter" selected. If you want to pass this on to the LUG list, feel free. I must have missed those messages (not surprisingly with how many I see every day!) Thanks for using Legacy.
