RE: [LegacyUG] V7 Potential Problem Reports
Regardless of "accepted", the mixed case nature of some spellings makes it important to me to have the actual case: - Think you might miss the difference if these were in all caps?

Re: [LegacyUG] V7 Potential Problem Reports
Ahhh, I enter surnames in all capitals, prefer them for my reports. Was wondering why I got the should use mixed case pop up at me. I knew about the Options>Customise check box for all capitals, but not about the potential problems. Thanks for sharing. I don't believe this, I spent I don't know how long changing surnames to Mixed Case, didn't like the look of it in reports, so I started changing them back. I have just set the Options>Customise to UPPERCASE, it changed the hundreds of my surnames to uppercase in two seconds flat. Yay Legacy, pity I didn't know about it before. I'm going to have to play some more and uh read the manual :-) Cheers Tracy On Sat, Jun 7, 2008 at 12:27 PM, Cathy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Phil, > > Are you entering Surnames in All Capitals or displaying them in All > Capitals? > > If you are entering them in All Capitals and want to keep doing that, just > turn off the Potential Problem check for that. > > Modern practice is to enter Surnames in mixed case and then use the Software > to display and print with All Capitals when appropriate - See the Format tab > in Reports (and web pages??) and Options > Customise - Data Format Tab for > Display > > It's up to you. > > Cathy Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
Re: [LegacyUG] V7 Potential Problem Reports
Phil, I was curious about your question, so I've done a little investigating. First of all, I suspect that you have probably ENTERED all your surnames as capital letters. I have entered mine normally, but choose to let Legacy convert them to all caps for reports. If that is the case, then you need to click on the Standardization tab of the Potential Problems report and uncheck the last box, which considers surnames typed in all caps as a potential problem. The interesting thing I've discovered is that you can get several different formats for this report. If you click "Create Problems List" then you get a list that you can work with - go to each individual and edit from the list. (Fabulous feature!) If you then click "Preview" from that list, you can specify if you want a detailed, abbreviated, or summary report. The reports that are generated this way do not have the surnames in all caps, since I did not enter them that way. However, if I click Preview directly from the initial Potential Problems Report screen (not create list or view existing list), then the surnames are in all caps. Very interesting. Thanks for prodding me to do a little more exploring in V7. I'm very happy about it, too.

Re: [LegacyUG] V7 Potential Problem Reports
Hi Phil, Are you entering Surnames in All Capitals or displaying them in All Capitals? If you are entering them in All Capitals and want to keep doing that, just turn off the Potential Problem check for that. Modern practice is to enter Surnames in mixed case and then use the Software to display and print with All Capitals when appropriate - See the Format tab in Reports (and web pages??) and Options > Customise - Data Format Tab for Display It's up to you.

Re: [LegacyUG] V7 Potential Problem Reports
Dede, I enetered all my surnames with Initial Caps, but used the Options to turn them into All Caps. I ran the potential problems report and it told me I had surnames all in caps. Well, duh! (heh) So one would think that with a little extra programming, the potential problems can check to see if that option has been selected before it points out the obvious. I tested this on a copy of my Sample file.

Re: [LegacyUG] V7 Potential Problem Reports
Phil, I tested this on a copy of the Sample file and can confirm the same result (I have build 45, ver 7). It seems that potential problem should not be tested when theat option has been selected in the Data Format tab. I'll report this as a possible bug.

RE: [LegacyUG] V7 Potential Problem Reports
I, too, prefer my surnames in all caps. One of the Standardization Tips that has popped up with version 7 when I save one of my ancestors says: You should used mixed case when entering names. (There is an option in Customize for showing surnames in all uppercase.) I doubt that you are doing something silly; I think it is just a reminder that you are doing something that is considered out of the norm. The Standardization Tips can be turned off by unchecking that box on the Standardization Tips screen. Another option on that box says Skip this warning for this person, but wow, that would be a great deal of skipping! Perhaps Cathy, Ron or someone from Millennia knows of a better way.
