David,
There are sentence definitions for every role associated with a
particular Event.
It's probably these you need to edit.
One way to see them is to go to View - Master Lists - Event Definition.
Highlight the Event you need to edit - eg Census - and then click Edit.
Note there are two tabs on the next screen. Go to the Tab headed "Roles
for those sharing this event"
Highlight the role where you need to edit the sentences and at the
bottom of the screen is a button Edit Role. Here you can edit the
sentences for that role.
However, using the Sentence Override from the person's event list should
work.
When you choose to edit an event shared from someone else one of the
tabs is "Sentence override (specific to this person's role)".
Perhaps you were trying to use the Sentence Override for the Event Owner?
Hope this helps,
Cathy

Hi Listers,
I'm not sure if this has been posted before, so please forgive me if
that's the case, but I've looked in the Legacy Help, User Guide, and
can't see a real answer to what I want.
Normally I'm not that fussed about generating reports for others and can
handle the Event Definition sentences, well enough to make my reports
presentable shall we say.
However I have a Family Group sheet (PDF), that is important to me, but
the male spouse of the family has quite a few shared events, like
Census, Directory, Memorial and Probate that display perfectly in the
Group Sheet for him, but the Shared Events for his wife and children
need work on the Sentence Definition to make the text look acceptable.
I can't see how to tackle this, or indeed wonder is it possible to
tackle this within Legacy, without exporting the results to a Word
Processor ?
I can of course do a capture of the incriminating text and paste here,
but that would be a graphic, so not the done thing to be honest.
When Editing the Shared Event for say the wife, I note the existence of
"Sentence Override (specific to this person's role)" and had a play
here, but still the report isn't acceptable.
I mightn't be explaining myself all that well, but wonder if someone
more clued up than myself might twig to what my problem is, or direct me
to more info please?
Many thanks
David Cripps in Tasmania
