You could use search and replace. Search the ‘given names’ for a single letter, ‘matching whole word only’ and replace with the single letter followed by a period.
Unfortunately Legacy does not have regular expressions so you have to do this for every letter of the alphabet. Regards Roger From: Ron Goodwin [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, 17 January 2010 5:56 a.m. To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] No Period After An Initial Following suggestions prior to upgrading to Legacy 7.4, I ran the Potential Problem report and found that I have over 100 individuals where I have failed to add a period after their initial. Is there any way to make the corrections without having to make the changes one by one?
