Greetings,
Further to my postings of 11 July 2010 (see below), I want once again to thank
everyone
for their help. I followed *all* of the steps offered by Richard Schulthies
but
unfortunately it did not help. However, I received a direct email today from
Sherry
(Technical Support) offering an alternative method and that did provide a work
around
solution. For those interested, here is what Sherry said-
"Unfortunately, Legacy is seeing this as a preposition, which many people
wrongly enter in
their locations ("of", "in", "near", etc)
If you go to View > Master Lists > Locations and edit that to have a
non-breaking space
between Over and Stowey, Legacy will not read "over" as a preposition.
To enter a non-breaking space, delete the space between Over and Stowey then
[sic -
leaving the cursor between the two now joined words] hold down the Alt key
while entering
0160 using the numeric keypad. A space will show up between the two words and
the reports
will print out correctly. Don't forget to edit the Short Location also.
BTW, you can also use a non-breaking space when entering a two-part name such
as Mary
Jane, where the person goes by Mary Jane rather than just Mary."
I believe John S. Adams referred to this solution in his reply yesterday but
unfortunately
I wasn't sure as to what detailed steps were actually required.
Thanks again. The Over Stowey location now reads correctly in all the Book
Reports.

Subject: Problem with fixed report narrative
Greetings all,
I couldn't find any mention of this in the archives so thought I'd bring it to
your
attention. When I produce any of the Book Reports (Descendant, Descendant
Narrative,
Ancestor, Multiple Lines of Descent) the location Over Stowey is not treated
correctly any
of the fixed narratives within the report as you can see from the example
below. For some
reason the word Over is treated as an adjective or adverb rather than part of a
place name
and as such the first letter is not capitalized. In addition, the preposition
' in ' is
dropped prior to the place name. I don't know if other similar place names
cause this
problem but I can say there isn't one with Nether Stowey, Somerset.
As I say the problem only appears when running the Book Reports and it occurs
only with
the fixed narratives, not in the Notes as you can see in the example below.
The location
Over Stowey is okay in the Family Group Report and all of the charts.
EXAMPLE---
2. Elizabeth Slocombe (Sarah 1) was born before 21 Mar 1779 over Stowey,
Somerset,
England and was baptized 21 Mar 1779 over Stowey, Somerset, England.
Elizabeth married Aaron Bailey 27 Aug 1805 over Stowey, Somerset, England.
General Notes: Aaron Bailey appears as Aaron Bayley in the Over Stowey parish
baptism
records for his daughter Ann.
Children of Aaron Bailey and Elizabeth Slocombe:
3 F i. Ann Bailey was born 26 May 1806 over Stowey,
Somerset, England
and was baptized 22 Jun 1806 over Stowey, Somerset, England.
Hope someone can duplicate this situation and provide me with a solution.
Thank you.
Ken Marlow, Ottawa
