An example would be:United States
Michigan
Chippewa County
Soo Township
Sault Ste Marie

Unless I enter it like this: Sault Ste Marie (Sault Twp), Chippewa, Michigan, 
United States, I "lose" the information that SSM is in Soo Twp. I think 
Barbeau, Chippewa County, Michigan, USA would be in Bruce Twp. (that's a guess 
as to the township). I could put the Township in the note field if it the 
parenthesis will cause difficulty down the line when I might want to do more 
with my data. But as far as I can see this still keeps the four commas for 
sorting purposes.

Another problem arises when the town/city is the same name as the township. How 
will I know if the person lived in the town or this is referring to the 
township? Since I'm leaving off "County"  and just using "Chippewa, it doesn't 
seem consistent to enter "Soo/Sault Township, Chippewa, MI..." But maybe that 
is getting too picky. Maybe that is the way it's done. I'm just feeling my way 
to an entry system with which I'm reasonably comfortable.

I have the beginner video set that I purchased when I ordered Legacy 5 and from 
the look of the preview, there hasn't been much change, if any. Unfortunately 
only the sound comes up on my computer and no picture. Tried it on Windows 7 
and on my old laptop with Win XP. I'm waiting for a response from an email to 
tech support. I hate to have to buy the set I already have!

Thanks for the reminder to cut! I never seem to remember. Wish I could have 
everyone put a reminder in their signature line. :)
