Legacy has a built-in feature to put all direct-line names in bold, and even to
add an asterisk in family lists, if you like. These feature can be selected in
Customize/Options, section 3.8.

It does if you select "Highlight Direct Line Children" - it's on the

Reports don't include color either.

When color coding follows thru to colored text fonts then that would work,
but any reporting function at this point doesnt show the difference on a
direct line.

Daphne,
You have to trick the system
if you want JONES
try first entering JONESA
then delete the A
Otherwise it tries to default to the value already existing in the surname
database of Jones.

Uppercase is a global change. If you want to show your direct line in
uppercase, you will have to edit each individual in the direct line -
which could be difficult since if you have Smiths who aren't in your
direct line and Smiths who are you have to have the surname in the
Master Surname List tw
You will have to Edit your Master Surname List to ADD the all caps
versions of the names. Once those are in your Surname List you can
choose the all caps version for those people in your direct line. (use
the downward arrow beside their surname box to open the surname list.)

I like your idea of uppercase for surnames of your direct line. I tried
changing my direct line surnames but it won't let me. I had originally told
legacy to make them all initial caps. I tried going to customize, data
formats, and displaying surnames and changing that to "don't change what I
enter
It's been my understanding that "File Check'n'Repair" includes "Compact
Database". So if you run the former, you don't also need the latter.

Barbara,
I run the Master List Clean up almost daily along with the File Check and
weekly compact database.
There are three sections of check boxes
in the Remove abandoned I have ALL checked
in the Keep/Restore Original I have NONE checked.
In the Combined Duplicates I have ALL but Surnames check
I decided to do the items mentioned on your list, but when I came to
'Run master list clean up', I hesitated. If I check all of the boxes
are there any ramifications I should know about?
