I don't see the problem, if you put "in the Lutheran Church" in the
Description field and then use the 4-part location for Clayton, then the
standard Baptism event sentence works just as you want.

Address and Location are entirely different things. You don't use Address
within a Location. If you did create a 5-part location (and you can, as Ron
points out), by putting Lutheran Church in the left-most part, then your
event still would not read well.

As an aside, since this also wouldn't be helpful for event sentences, some
people do create special locations that have an address or cemetery name or
church name embedded in the city name part of the location. For example, I
have the following separate locations:
Spokane, Spokane, Washington, USA
Spokane - Fairmount Cemetery, Spokane, Washington, USA
Spokane - Sacred Heart Hospital, Spokane, Washington, USA

For me, this works better than adding the cemetery or hospital name as a 5th
field of the location. It sorts well in the master location list. If you do
use more than 4 location fields, consider changing the direction of sort to
'right to left' in the master location list.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Proper use of Address, Place, and Description

I have a sentence I want to use in Legacy 8:
"She was baptized in the Lutheran Church on 28 Apr 1907 in Clayton, Stevens
County, Washington, USA"
Question(s):

1) Where should I put "Lutheran Church". I have tried both Description and
Address. Description is the only choice that works.
2) I assume that the "Place" information is limited to 4 locations. i.e.
City, County, State, and Country.
3) How in the world do you use the "Address" variable in sentences, since
the Legacy sentence options do not consider "Address" as one of the 4
location variables. Do I use something like "< at [Address]>" and place it
everywhere I reference the Legacy "Place" sentence variable?
Finally ..... any comments on the proper way to include 5 variables in
Legacy's 4 variable sentence structures would be appreciated.
