I don't think this is possible. You can print RIN, Surname, Forename, Birth date, Death date, but the dates will be in full, not as seen on the Name List. >We cannot understand that if Legacy can generate internally a window >that has the precise data displayed in the absolute & exact form >needed, why we cannot print that out nor save same in the csv form >available from which we can so easily convert to txt ourselves. There are lots of things you can't do because Legacy have not built the capability into the program! -- Jenny M Benson 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
