For what it’s worth, I followed the exact steps outlined by Dave Johnson in his message below and my results were as expected. There was no spurious /b, /I, or other code. Everything looked good on my end. I even tried various alternatives to the steps he outlined to see if I could force the issue but everything still looked good. Maybe I’m not following his steps correctly or this is a strange error that is only occurring on a limited number of users.

When documenting a census event, I transcribe the census record in the Notes Field. I typically start by pasting the "text" tab contents into each persons in a census record. Then I Then I highlight the person whose Legacy Record I am working in. The problem is that when I first Bold the name of the head of household and save the Event, instead of Bolding the first name, the system puts a /b in front of the name. After the name has been saved and I pull it up again, I can delete the /b and Bold the name and then it holds. An example is below: Text/Comments tab contains the transcribed Census Record for this household as follows: Elenor McGINNIS, head, white, female, born in Mar 1835, age 65, widowed, bore 6 children - 4 still alive, born in Kentucky, father born in Kentucky, mother born in Alabama, able to read write and speak English; Elza V McGINNIS, grandson, white, male, born in July 1856, age 13, single, born in Missouri, parents born in Kentucky, attended school, able to read write and speak English. When I copy the text (above) and paste it into the Census Event Notes field, for Eleanor McGinnis, I put in one blank line followed by "1) " just as Geoff explained in his Census Event DVD. Then I delete the semi-colon after each person's information and replace it with a period. Then I hit enter and type "2) " for the second person. And so forth. Before saving the record I Bold the first name, in this example Elenor McGinnis. After saving the Census Event, when I reopen the census event it looks like this. 1) \bElenor McGINNIS, head, white, female, born in Mar 1835, age 65, widowed, bore 6 children - 4 still alive, born in Kentucky, father born in Kentucky, mother born in Alabama, able to read write and speak English. 2) Elza V McGINNIS, grandson, white, male, born in July 1856, age 13, single, born in Missouri, parents born in Kentucky, attended school, able to read write and speak English. but it should read as follows: 1) Elenor McGINNIS, head, white, female, born in Mar 1835, age 65, widowed, bore 6 children - 4 still alive, born in Kentucky, father born in Kentucky, mother born in Alabama, able to read write and speak English. 2) Elza V McGINNIS, grandson, white, male, born in July 1856, age 13, single, born in Missouri, parents born in Kentucky, attended school, able to read write and speak English. This seems to happen only when I paste the information into the note the first time. Please see if you can replicate this error. Thanks.
