Wendy 1. I already have the relationships set to appear with me as the starting point 2. I already have it set to show direct line in BOLD - not able to see any difference 3. I already have each direct ancestor appear as the preferred child - can't see any asterisk next to the name
So even though I can see the relationships, I CANNOT tell which child is the direct descendant because they do NOT appear as bold nor do I see the asterisk So the ALL CAPS on the direct ancestor is the only thing that appears to make it stand out Wendy Howard wrote: > Hi Laura, > > >> is there any way to all CAPS on some instances of a surname and on >> others, just regular?
