That would work, Jenny, but in playing around with all of the other Notes (Marriage, Death, Events, etc.) it seems that something has changed to General Notes in that it is the ONLY one that won’t allow an ending C/R. I’m not sure if that happened on the last update or earlier but I feel certain that it all worked just 6 months ago.

Legacy will strip out those characters. Which is really weird because you can do such in Marriage Notes but not in General Notes. For example, if you were to type “and they lived happily ever after.” And then hit the C/R key to move the cursor to the next line, then hit SAVE. Then reopen the Notes and notice where your text ends by clicking to place the cursor at the very end. You’ll find your ending blank line has been stripped out. Try the same thing in Marriage Notes and it is not stripped out. (The Customization Setting 4.3 which governs the position of the cursor when opening Notes, either beginning or end, has no effect on this.) I usually end my notes with such a blank line because of formatting reasons in various Reports but now Legacy won’t allow that. Anyone else seeing this? Yes! But what you can do, it seems, is put a space inside privacy brackets - [[ ]] - where you want the blank line to appear. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://support.legacyfamilytree.com Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
