Ron, As Cliff said, this does not work any longer. Using the insert tab button or manually entering «tab» in the search for field does not find tabs in the notes. The only thing I have found in the past that did work was to copy a tab entity from the notes fied and paste that in the search for field. I just tried that in the most current version ( 7.4.0.45) and now that does not work. I think it is time for a bug report. -- Gene Young Researching Young, Harer, Cox & Sallada With Legacy Family Tree http://myyoungs.atspace.com/index.htm 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
