extra), and Residence. The other field it will look for is more for the
oh nice - thanks Paula.
With some further looking I've also found how to actually include them in
my Chronology reports - something that wasn't clear before.
They can word-wrap things in there, should be able to word wrap things in
other reports ;)

Forgive me for asking please, but what is the "problem" with the "Last
modified date" having changed?
I'm unsure if any of mine have changed or not to reflect the date of the
last update, and I am totally confused as to how the date is firstly used,
and secondly how it might affect anything.

Nope, I think they are just for the Chronology (on-screen and report).
Click on "Edit" to view what events are in a given Timeline.

Kathy, I think it's worth entering a suggestion to have the "word wrap" within
the boxes, per your last sentence. I've seen other small bugs in that section

I was fiddling with events in FGS and was dismayed to find that the events are
always separated by horizontal lines. Well, I should say I was surprised to
see that the horizontal lines are still there even if you select to use bullets
or numbering... seems redundant. I was looking for a way to

What are they used for?
How can I view them?
Can I integrate them with the events for a person within a report output?
In the "Help" section it implies they are only used in conjunction with
Chronology reports, but this doesn't seem to be a logical "only used here"
use.
Any ideas?

Kathy,
You can get something like what you want by altering ONE event sentence for the
event.
The example I used was the Immigration Event and the entered information will
read in the order you requested …
Event Name - Date - Location - Description
I altered one sentence definition
Thanks Ron. That was easy.
By the way, I did look in Help> but apparently the asterisk in spelled out as a

Am i the first person to report no changes in modified date with update to
7.5.0.270?
Are you all turning off married and AKA names to count actual individuals?
I looked at modified dates in Access sorted chronologically and find for:
8/19/2013 5 individuals
8/17/2013 1 individuals
