Hello Jay. This sounds like something I might be able to solve for you. I am not familiar with the full history, but if you can send me samples of "before" and "after" files, I will try to take a look at it. I just ask for patience, it may take a while in idle periods. Provide a link that I

Thank you, Sherry.  I was able to find the detailed search tab and use your instructions to find the number of notes. Jay, you had asked about individuals and notes.  The file with 141 individuals has 26 with notes. The file with 491 individuals has 122 with notes.   Priscil

Hmmm.  That seems like a plan.  I have done that on one note, but not left that screen...now, do I need to save that?  I don't see any "save" button.     Priscilla > > From: Sherry/Support >To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com >Sent: Tuesday, July 29,

Priscilla, With that small number I would just create a small report (Like Sherry mentions) that lists which ones do have notes. and use that for reference (for the RIN Number) to edit one by one. I have over 50,000 with notes that have broken words. I have been waiting in hopes some day some e

Hi Jay,   The most recent file that I downloaded into Legacy as a test was one of my smaller ones -- 141 individuals.  Is there an easy way to see how many have notes?  I don't know how to do that except to count.     One of my larger files has 491 individuals.     I would be glad to

Thanks Bob and Sherry, Sadly, Sherry's solution did not work.  I guess I will just have to deal with each of the notes, one by one.  I do very much appreciate your suggestion, Bob, about copying  lengthy notes to Word, fixing them there, and then pasting them back into the notes section.
