Cathy,

address in parentheses () right after the city or town. The same thing with
a hospital name for birth or death, church name for religious events such as

I don't put any events in the marriage - just marriage, divorce. My reason
has nothing to do with reports, though - I just like to see everything when

Cathy,
The only reason why you might not want to have 5 places for some USA
addresses and 4 for another is sorting.
In the master location list you have the option to sort the list in any
manner you'd like. However, you must have consistency. It will not be
able to easily find for example

Actually, Dave's suggestion to sort right to left (largest location
to smallest location) solved this. I hadn't noticed that option
before and that's why I was trying to force everything into 4

everything comes up perfectly
Actually you can edit the dictionaries. Go to C:\Legacy\Dictionaries (or
where ever you Legacy installed). Use a text editor (such as Notepad) and
you can edit the files that end with *.tlx*.

You may want to replace Co, with County,. No quotes of course but I use

There is a checkbox to combine (or not combine) sources into one
paragraph when there is more than one source. You should uncheck
that box. It is in the Sources Tab of Report Options for each
report type (Descendant, Ancestor, Individual, etc.) and you have to
change each report separately.
Once you installed Legacy on the D: Drive the updates should know that
it is installed there and will update your D Drive version.

I look at at it differently. An individual report is for everyone from the
date of birth until they get married. It includes all childhood info,
residences, schools and church attended, friends, pets, hobbies, clubs,

This may be too late for your circumstance, but when I first moved my DB using
Gedcom, it did the 'caps' the way I didn't like, and it took 2-3 start overs,
