Unfortunately, because different reports "say" the same thing in different ways, changing the Marriage screen, even if Overrides did work, so that all reports would have the wording you want won't solve this problem.
That means, any time we want to create a report, we need to do a shortened version to see if it comes out close to the way we want. The report options are different for each report too, so we often have to go back to the Marriage screen, make what changes we can, and then go back and see if the report comes out better. For some reports, there is no way at all to have it say what we want. The only way, as you have found, is to send it to a word processor. For a long report, this is a royal pain! I guess it is just too difficult for the programmers to give us more options for wording. Maybe they need a super deluxe version that allows ultimate flexibility since they remove wonderful options when people complain that it is just too complicated to make all these choices.

Well, that's obvious, but I don't want to say anything - not *this couple did not marry*, *she had a relationship with someone*, *she had a sperm donor*. I want it to be blank and the next line would read *Her child was*. How do I do that? Deleting *had a relationship with someone* doesn't work. The Overrides are blank. This is one reason I can't use a .pdf and have to edit a Word document when I want to send a report to relatives. Ruth A.
