Hi Henry,
Yes you can swap the information to the Baptism field without retyping.
Under the Options button next to the events on the Individual
information screen is a list of possibilities for the highlighted
event, including Swap with baptism information.
There is a problem if the baptism event includes a Description - it
is left behind if the baptism fields were empty and attached to the
switched information if the baptism fields had information.
When the baptism fields were blank, this leaves a blank baptism event
which then needs to be deleted. You can't delete a whole Event
definition if it is being used.
So this is a big one by one job unless someone else can think of a clever way.
My only thought is - could you do it by exporting to a Gedcom and
reimporting with particular mapping options. This would only be
feasible if you've only used common items as some things are lost in
Gedcom export. I'm also too inexperienced with Gedcoms to know how.
You may need to edit the Gedcom and change the tag used for these
baptisms to an unknown tag so that you are asked on import what to do
with them.

My problem is this [650 of them].
On the Individual's information window [top part] Bapt is blank.
On the bottom half of the screen under Event/Fact all the Baptism
Data is there. Is there a way to swap the Baptism Data to the above
Bapt field. I hate to think that I will have to type all 650 of them again.
Yes I use the hunt and peck system of typing.
