Select an Individual for whom you want to change the RIN, go to the 
Tools menu and select Renumber RINs.  It's quite straightforward.

RE: [LegacyUG] RIN number changes

[Jim Terry/Support]

RIN and MRIN numbers are assigned in sequential order as you enter
individuals and marriages in the family file. There can be no duplicate
numbers because they are unique.

When you import a GEDCOM file into an existing family file, the RINs and
MRINs that were in the GEDCOM file renumbered, with the exception of
possibly filling in any blank RINs in the existing file.

I just imported 8 people, and did a merge.   The people imported from
PAF 
came into my Legacy file with large RIN numbers  from my old PAF file.
What did 
I do wrong?  How can I change RIN's  now???
