I am in the process of tidying up my data after using Legacy since 2007. Up till now I have filled in the description field in Events as I liked the way it printed out, putting the description field next to the place, before the notes, making it useful to print out reports for reviewing away from the computer.
I am aware that Geoff Rasmussen does not use the description field as apparently, it does not export to GEDCOMs for use in other genealogy software. If I swap the information from the description field to the Event notes field, can the notes be exported to a GEDCOM for import to other genealogy software? Also, I note that Geoff leaves a blank first line when entering census details in the Event notes so that it has a better appearance in the Chronology view. Should I be doing this for all Event notes? Are there any beta users of Legacy 9 who know if the description field will remain in Legacy 9? I’d be grateful for your opinions before I start my big tidy up. Diane
