[LegacyUG] Surname after divorce on reports

2008-11-23 Thread GeoSci
Several in my files have gone through divorces - and returned to a maiden name (or previous married name) - through the courts. But reports show the divorces surname since that was the last one that was legal. Any way to change the legal last name? This would also apply to a legal name change

MANY of the problems are solved - even in the sourcing. I believe there will probably be an update before Christmas although that is only my thinking. Easiest install is to go to the LEGACY HOME tab within the program and look to the right for the UPDATE. It appears to stall at about 27%

[LegacyUG] Dates on Reports

2008-11-21 Thread GeoSci
I enter dates in the 26 Jun 1926 format - but would love to see them printed in ALL reports as June 26, 1926. I cannot seem to find such a setting. The June 26, 1926 seems much more ... friendly - especially here in the US. Anyone know of a solution short of sentence override for every event?
