Hi Flora, When you are doing the import, note there is a Customise button. Click this and you get several options for importing note fields depending on how the note is in the gedcom. You might want to look at the gedcom in a text editor to see how the lines are broken - or just experiment with each option.
There are 3 options: Let Legacy decide Lines are broken in the middle of words Lines are broken between words Clicking the Help button from that screen gives further information. Cheers, Cathy .
