Legacy is all things to all people! There's no reason why you have to use the standard, out-of-the-box sentence structure for any single event or group of events. If you don't like the way it reads, override it and define your own structure for the one occurrence of the event. Look in the Index of the on-line help for 'Event, Sentence'. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
