Re: [LegacyUG] Sentence vs. list format
Hi Claire, Sentences are always clearer. However, depending on the event a list style can be clear depending on how you've used the fields. If you choose Sentence Style, you can set up the Sentences for some events to read like a list style. If you add a new Event type, the Event Sentences automatically generated are in list style so you can see how to do this. Do you know you can vary the "he did ..." If you use the code [FirstHeShe] then the events alternate using the First name (note this is the quoted name if you are using quoted names in narratives) Also, you don't have to put the [FirstHeShe] at the beginning of the Sentence so can include variety that way as well. Another way to add variety, especially for someone with a lot of events, you can use a Sentence Override occasionally, even though the default sentence reads OK.

Re: [LegacyUG] How to get rid of blank lines in reports??
In the templates, there automatic empty spaces, fields and lines. Example: To Do list; what to include; I made it 0 blank lines. Most if not all of the reports have similar choice areas. I went through over a year ago, so do not remember wher all of them are. The _, are found in Descendent Narrative; Inser Underlines for Missing; take checks out. Good luck finding them.

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports have blank pages
Hi Gwen, Can you clarify? The reports have blank pages deliberately at the beginning after the title and content pages - like a book. You don't mean those blank pages do you? Some sections can also be set to start on a new or odd numbered page. See the tick box in the Index section See tick box on Page Layout tab - Start each generation on a new page. If you don't have many notes or events, I suspect that could possibly sometimes cause a blank page. You say "that is fine". Do you mean that the preview is fine and doesn't have blank pages? What happens if you save to PDF? Does that have the blank pages? Are you sure you are not just printing odd or even pages when you come to print. Are you including pictures at "original size"? That can mess up the page breaks. Sorry I can't think of anything else. If it's the preview with the unusual blanks, it could be a memory problem with your computer. I'm assuming you have a new computer and haven't put XP on your old 98 computer. Many computers running Win98 didn't have enough RAM to handle XP. Same with the switch to Vista from XP. Each operating system wants more and more RAM - and you usually need at least twice the minimum recommended by Microsoft.
