Chick: If you're referring to just getting rid of the "someone" mentioned in Tom's post and having the correct name included in the index, then you have to fix it in Legacy before creating the report in a word processor. As I posted earlier, I believe the correction can be done by deleting the marriage (and perhaps the names of the bride and/or groom) and then re-entering them.
If you're referring to other editing of a Legacy report in a word processor then, as Ron said, you can't transfer the changes back into Legacy.
