Richard, At the end of the article there is an important paragraph:
"The conflicting information will only appear as I've described above if you actually record the conflicting data as an "Alt. Birth" event. I've written about this a couple of times in past articles: click here and here for the instructions." Yes, for an "Alt. Birth" event to appear you would have had to add an Alt. Birth at some point. I think at some point, maybe at version 7's release (or before) the Alt events were added as defaults to the master event list. They could be removed if you use the Purge Unused option in the Master Event List.

Geoff should have mentioned the fact that such a change is not local. I liked someone's suggestion of an * when an alt birth or death event exists. -- Richard Van Wasshnova On Fri, Jul 1, 2011 at 6:07 PM, Cathy Claycamp <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi > > I read (and listened to) the the Legacy tip How to Display Conflicting > Information. > When the customize display box comes up.
