Speaking of too many caps, some years ago I imported my main family database from FamilyTree and/or PAF into Legacy via .gedcoms.
In the process -- in the Events sections -- all the "descriptions" were placed in the Notes field with Initial caps for EVERY word!! If they're long enough I simply copy them into my word processor, highlight and edit them, choosing the lowercase option. It's a bit of a nuisance. I don't know whether Legacy caused that?? I don't suppose there's any easier way to get proper capitalization? Also, does that still happen? If so, any way to avoid that in future?? Thanks!
