There is no option to "remove" it, though there is an option not to show it in reports. If, say, I know that someone was born in Ohio, USA, I can enter it as Ohio, USA and Legacy will display and print it like that. but I can also enter it as , , Ohio, USA to show that the city and county are missing. And then I can have Legacy print it like that, or to strip away the leading commas. I generally enter just what I know, so I don't put in blank spaces. If I later find the name of a town where the person was born, I'll just add that, like Columbus, Ohio, USA. and not Columbus, , Ohio, USA -- Steve Hayes E-mail: [email protected] Blog: http://khanya.wordpress.com Web: http://www.khanya.org.za/stevesig.htm Phone: 083-342-3563 or 012-333-6727 Fax: 086-548-2525 -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list [email protected] To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
