[LegacyUG] Has anyone probs
Sadly it looks like others have not had much of a problem, firstly I noticed my countries entered in Capitals had all turned to lower case which I have sorted with help, now I note that where I had entered (FTM) given names they were now surnames in capitals ( this could have been my fault) in trying to ajust my surname to capitals, now funnily I notice the group sheet is not surname capitals but index is. So far one person found born in the wrong country and so with 7500 people in the tree how much other stuff is messed up. Thank you for your replies just needed someone else that had problems with the changeover and so I would feel less like chucking the prog. out. This unfortunately is the second bought prog (Printmaster 23) which I have a problem with which I cannot solve, perhaps I will throw the PC and all out, and now I see a new replacement for Vista . yikes!!

Re: [LegacyUG] Help please
Hi again, Thank you Jane but sadly this is what I have been doing, and this will only edit the line specified, so now I have 999 lines to edit mmmhh! Now I am wondering whether to never import anything and what other mistakes are there still to find of which I found one. Another question is can I delete the lines on a family group record (a lot of wasted ink and far less busy to look at, this I was able to do in FTM Regards Toni Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Help please Toni, If you select Master from the top toolbar, you can select the Master Location list. If you select edit, you can globally edit the locations from that screen. I just did this in a PLAY FILE I created (and an excellent suggestion from this LUG). After you edit Nz to NZ, a pop up message This change will affect all records using this location. Do you want to save the change? appears. Select Yes and you have changed each entry of that location. That Master selection is quite powerful. I do suggest you create a PLAY FILE to see all you can do with the options for locations. Please come back to the LUG with any questions.

Re: [LegacyUG] Help please

For the carry over capitalisation glitches - NZ to Nz or USA to Usa try this. Use the Search tab and 'search and replace' In the top box Find Where use the down arrow to find Lists-Location Then type in your changes and click Start, all locations using NZ will be changed. Its quicker than changing the Locations line by line in the master list. *Take care with Nz to NZ if you have Cornish forebears from Penzance they may suddenly be from PeNZance, you can avoid that by using the choices, but if that does happen, its easy to fix. Family Group sheet - try creating a text file instead, it come with few lines, you can open it in your word processor and edit freely.
