The biggest nightmare I have had in going form Legacy 7.5 to Legacy 9 (I skipped 8) has to be the issue of Legacy not converting Emdash code properly in most instances.
I have been able to correct some with Search and Replace, but not the majority. The missed ones in Search and Replace are where the Emdash did not have a space before or after. For example, SMITH"emdash"JONES; or "emdash"SMITH Since I know most instances come from a particular Master Source, did a Show List for that source and came up with a list of nearly 1000 names. I made a search list and tagged the names, and as I was going through the list untagged when I had checked and if necessary corrected all the '97 to a double ordinary dash. I had gone through about 30 when I realised that the Marriage Notes were not on the Individual I was looking at, so I have to start again. Can someone please help my tired brain by suggesting a step by step plan of action. Obviously I can't get through 1000 in one session, so it has to be a list somewhere I can pick up and stop when I have the time and inclination. If there are any users still on 7.5 who are considering updating to Legacy 8 or 9, especially if you use Trove in Australia for sources and notes - be aware this will also happen to you. (Unless Legacy fixes the problem. I has been in existence apparently since Legacy 8, so don't hold your breath.) Jennifer
