Where on the list can you click? If you click on a child you go to that child's family, if click in the blank area on the top you get the add menu, if click next to "full name" you get to the list columns menu. -Original Message- From: Sherry/Support [mailto:she...@legacyfamilytree.com]

I agree that changes should be made to make more efficient use of the screen real estate in family view, but quite frankly I think the solution is to more or less revert to the way it was in 7.5. I don't think this would really compromise the new look and feel. I think Husband and Wife need to
