Jack and Kirsten,
I should have said in my original answer that initially I was NOT able
to duplicate the problem.
My Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is to use the Save/Close Button on
any screen in Legacy. When I first tested the problem I automatically
used Save on the marriage information screen so the Wording Tab change
made by Legacy from "married someone" (Unknown spouse) to "married"
(known spouse) was saved and the reports read X married Y.
Legacy was, therefore trying to sort out the wording based on my
addition of a spouse when the marriage screen was presented. My use of
the Cancel button told Legacy not to make the change to the Wording Tab
it was proposing. I did say that I had not reviewed the Wording Tab, if
I had looked at that tab I would have seen that the wording was going to
be changed to "married" instead of "married someone".
That was the reason why I asked the $64 question.

I'd suggest that because of your action at "7" below that the effect is a
bug. You had the info correct already and so were OK in doing a cancel from
the marriage screen. The wording options should sort themselves out (unless
you had overridden them). I don't think it should matter really if you
- add spouse
- add marriage details
Or
- add marriage details
- add spouse
I've sometimes had to do the second method when I've been told the
date/place of a person's marriage and then had to go back to my source to
get the spouse' name

Kirsten,
I was able to duplicate this but only when I did the following:
1. I created an ancestor X
2. I added a marriage date and place but no spouse.
3. The Marriage wording tab of the marriage screen then used the default
setting "X married someone" for an unknown spouse.
4. I ran an ancestor report and the X married someone wording was used
with no name.
5. I closed the report
6. I added the missing spouse Y
7. When the marriage screen appeared I clicked the cancel button instead
of save since the date and place were OK. I did not examine the Wording
Tab. If I had looked at the wording tab I would have seen that the
wording was now "married".
8. Because I cancelled the change to the marriage information the
"married someone" wording was kept on the wording tab.
9. When I ran the ancestor report the wording was "X married someone Y".
10. After I edited the marriage and saved it without making any changes
to the date/place the marriage wording tab was changed to "married" and
the ancestor report wording became "X married Y".
Now for the 64$ question. Is that a BUG or user error?

As Ron responded, this was discussed on the list but not really resolved.
In my case, I had entered a woman's name and marriage date but no
husband's
name. When I later found and entered his name it appeared in Descendant
Book Reports just like your "Julia married someone Nelson Taylor." It
appears that once the "someone" is triggered, entering a name later just
added it to the field but didn't override the "someone."
I don't know whether you've perhaps done the same thing, but I had to
delete
the marriage date, location, and the husband's name and then add the
husband
again *before* re-entering the marriage information. That cleared the
"someone."

Subject: [LegacyUG] Someone
Ancestor Book Report - Why is the word "someone" being inserted into
ever marriage - it makes no sense!?! "Julia married someone Nelson
Taylor". Looked for wording option but could not find anything there.
Any ideas? (Using latest update)
Thanks,
Keith
