Hello Carolyn,
I could reproduce this error either. I followed your instructions exactly. I was able to Update Legacy Spouse, then when I clicked Edit Left and selected Edit Marriage..., I got the Marriage Information dialog of the couple in the IGI.
The fact that you're getting an error msg, first try:
1) rebooting your computer (just to reclaim any lost memory). A fresh start is always good.
2) backup your data File > Backup Family File (or use Ctrl+B).
3) comapct family file File > File Maintenance > Compact family File
4) try searching the IGI again.

I have been checking my database against the IGI file through the Search the IGI website feature in the Search drop-down list. I am consistently getting an error message under the following conditions:
Select the "Family" tab. Note that the marriage location is given in the IGI file and I want to add it to my file but the format of the information is different from mine. I select "Update Legacy Spouse" to move the information to the left hand column Then I select "Edit Left". I expected that this choice would take me to the Marriage information screen when I could then edit the location information. However, I instead get an error message -"Individual # ____ not found." The number specified is not a number used in the current database so the message is correct. But why should the missing entry keep me from viewing the Marriage Information screen for two totally unrelated individuals?
