Re: [LegacyUG] Reordering source citations
Gene, Sort them in the Assigned Sources List - highlight the source you want to move within an event and click the up or down button. From the Help topic for the Assigned Sources List: Rearranging the Source Citations You can change the order of the source citation for a specific event by placing the cursor on the source line you want to move and then clicking the up or down arrow near the lower left corner of the list.

[LegacyUG] GeoExtraCodes-Alt.txt FINAL FIX
Okay, Brian, here is my particular fix for getting Legacy to properly recognize the 'GeoExtraCodes-Alt.txt' file in the directory C:\%UserProfile%\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData\Misc The fact that Legacy was recognizing the 'GeoExtraCodes-Alt.txt' in the C:\%UserProfile%\My Podcasts directory in the first place was the clue. I took the chance and deleted everything under the 'My Podcasts' directory, hopefully forcing Legacy to read the 'GeoExtraCodes-Alt.txt' file in 'My Documents' directory. It worked! Now I can move on on to solving other universal mysteries such as why buttered bread always falls butter-side down! LOL! Thanks for listening!

Re: [LegacyUG] Re: GeoExtraCodes-Alt.txt FIXED
Brian, I'm really glad you mentioned the quirks of Windows file/folder behavior. I had forgotten all about the Explorer Shell namespace modus operendi. That jogged my memory and made me think to look in the registry to see just where the operating system (Win 7 Ultimate, in my case) was looking for the Documents folder. I can't tell you when, where, or how it got changed, but the Explorer User Shell pointed the 'Personal' folder to, you probably already guessed, %UserProfile%\My Podcasts Yikes! There's the problem! So, I modified the 'Personal' key to %UserProfile%\Documents Voilà ! (I'm a happy camper now!) Yes, I was aware that a Microsoft's Compatible with Windows certification requires that an app use the appropriate special folder names and locations to store documents and app settings. I just hate to see the Documents folder get so cluttered that it becomes difficult to locate anything. It seems that the Documents folder is starting to be used more and more as a registry folder. Someday, if the practice persists, someone will need to develop a Document Folder Manager/Editor Defragger app similar to a beefed-up Registry Editor. Remember that Windows v3.1 had a registry, but it was seldom used. Now look at the behemoth that the registry is today! I foresee the same happening to the Documents folder. Per your suggestion, Brian, I moved my data and media to the 'Documents\Legacy Family Tree' folder. The Documents folder path is pointed to properly now, and life's great! I probably wouldn't have thought to check the registry key had you not mentioned the quirks of Windows file/folder behavior. Thank you for your help!

[LegacyUG] Can Reports Capitalize Last Names?
Is there any way to get reports to display the last names in UPPERCASE? There is an option under Options - Customize - 3. Data Format - 3.4 Displaying Surnames that allows you to Show SURNAMES in uppercase letters, but this option doesn't seem to be used by Legacy Charting.

Re: [LegacyUG] Can Reports Capitalize Last Names?
You could also save it as part of your theme for each chart just as you can save the settings for reports in Legacy, you can save your own theme in charting. OR if you always want surnames in Uppercase, you can change the Option in Legacy (3.3) to store the surname in Uppercase. Then you have no option in reports to use Mixed Case when that is desirable. The option at 3.4 is only for the screen display, not reports or charting. Cathy GeoPappas wrote: Thanks. Is there any way to set this as the default for all reports?

Re: [LegacyUG] Tagging Spouses of Related
Hi Jay, What you say is not quite correct. If you search for Relationship equals Related, you do not get the spouses - only the blood related individuals. To get just the spouses, first set a focus group or a tag for the line you are working with. Descendants of the furtherest away ancestor(s) relevant to that line - not Entire Descendant line - just Descendants. Descendants does include the spouses. If you use a focus group, you need to turn that focus group into a search list which can be done from the Miscellaneous tab in the search. If you tag the descendants you need to first search for that tag (or in the Name List use Search - show all tagged) Now search within this search list - use the radio button at the bottom of the Detailed Search screen - for Relationship does not equal related. There's your list of spouses. Cathy Jay at 1familytree.com wrote: OK, having a moment here where I know this should be fairly easy to do, but the logic is escaping me. I want to tag all of the spouses of my blood related persons. I can use the Related selector which gives me all my blood related AND their spouses. But how do I trim out the blood relatives, leaving only their spouses? Thank in advance for any help.
