Ron I was referring to the Build Date as sometimes still under the cover of the latest version there can be subtle programming changes with a different edition as described by the Build Date. Thought that you may have a later Build Date that has been "experimented with".
All the Defaults are set correctly but that is not the problem as Legacy offers the option to edit individual Marriage Wording in the Tab "Wording Options" at the top of the "Marriage Information" window. To get the effect of the "fault" you have to follow the previously described routine for data entry exactly. What changes is the entry behind the Tab as described i.e. "Wording Override". Opening the Tab will show that an Override of "Married Someone" has been set as though it was intended to be that way, irrespective of the "Default" Settings in Options>Customise>View> Edit Default Marriage settings. It matters not that it is a Desc. or Anc. report as it is set in the Marriage just for that couple by the data entry update process. It would not matter that one Spouse was entered as a line or alpha, just that there was a RIN allocated. If no RIN I bet it would always show "Married someone". I have not tested if a there is an entry type that does not get a RIN.

I have not looked at the Descendant Report as Lincoln was using the Ancestor Report. I note also that in his post of 29/5/10 he says: 'I can eliminate the wording "somone" but I cannot get the desired blank lines when there is no spouse and "Insert Underlines for Missing Given and Surnames" is checked under options for the Ancestor Book. I'm using build 7.4.0.39' I will try and find time to look at the Descendant Report today, but I am trying to get my website update online by tomorrow. BTW. have you checked the default under the Options tab?
