Uppercase is a global change. If you want to show your direct line in uppercase, you will have to edit each individual in the direct line - which could be difficult since if you have Smiths who aren't in your direct line and Smiths who are you have to have the surname in the Master Surname List twice... and duplicate surnames are combined with the Master List Cleanup, unless you deselect it.
Why not use the color-coding system in Legacy? That flags everyone in your direct line. Options > Customize 8.3 to set it. Also you can have the direct line in bold by setting the line as preferred and then selecting that option in Options > Customize 3.8 Sincerely, Sherry Technical Support Legacy Family Tree On Fri, Mar 21, 2014 at 12:04 PM, D.
