Elizabeth, The thing to remember is that Legacy is a program for the storage and retrieval of data, and has some options for the production of reports. It is *not* a word processor, and in my opinion hopefully never will be.
To do as you wish you really do need to be looking at word processors such as Word or the free OpenOffice.org and Libre Office. You can save your Legacy data as a .rtf file and upload into any of these, which have the capacity for editing as you suggest.

There is ssoooooooo much repetition of information such as Events and Census data!!! I want my book to be more of a 'biographical sketch of each family', tying the whole family together rather than a long list of facts (Events, etc) but I have not figured out how this can be done. I have "lots and lots" of newspaper articles, obituaries, family stories, etc that I want included as part of the narrative, not entered as a long list of Events. And I want the census data to be for the whole family, not each person separately. Surely there must be folks on this list who have created narrative books for their families who might be able to help us........I hope so.
