Thanks, Cathy.
I did eventually find some more by a circuitous route. (Most of the problems were with particulars of land transfers so I made a search list with the word “simple” from “Fee simple” in the Source Details.) I then went through the individuals in the list (mercifully short). What I found was that in some cases I had a period adjoining the emdash so I should have been searching for .’97 Prior to doing the above I tried searching for \emdash but it brought no results.

You can search Source Citation for \emdash to find them. Yes I know most places it shows as '97 but if you look at the preview in the Name List/Search List it shows as \emdash and that's the only way I could find the ones I added to the Sample file. You can use Search and Replace on the right Citation part (in Search and Replace Citation = Source Details) to replace again using \emdash and making sure you're only replacing the found text. Make sure you do backups before using Search and Replace. I've upped the priority of this issue in the bug tracker. Cathy Jennifer Crockett wrote: I can't see how to search in the Source Detail "Text and Comments" field. I have some pesky '97 in there from Legacy's inability to correctly render an emdash. I wa nt to replace '97 with a plain dash. I managed to do this in other parts of the database but I have just come across one in the field as above. I am sure there are many more. Jennifer
