A while back, I mentioned I had trouble searching the IGI using Legacy, where my individuals have the Surname of [---?---] instead of being blank. I was advised to delete the [---?---] from the name fields.
I just went to try to change it, and I cannot delete the "[---?---]" from the Master List, nor can I edit or search and replace it with a blank or a single space. Do I have to change each person individually? Is there a quicker way? If I have a person who is a placeholder, since I know her married surnames, for example, but not first or maiden name, I cannot delete the Surname. Legacy thinks I'm deleting the person, even if they have vital data and linked family. I do have one idea that might work. Should I simply create an AKA for each person with a [---?---] Surname and make it blank? Is there a way to do this quickly? (I've only been using Legacy for a few months, and I'm still learning.)
