Can someone please explain to me the advantages of using the Name list vs the Index? I personally prefer the Index as it displays all the information across the screen (i.e. name, sex, birth date, birth place, death date & death place). You can adjust the column widths, but they only hold until you close down Legacy. When you restart, you will have to reset your column widths.
