Ruth: Here is more information from the Help file about the Wording Options Tab.
*Wording Options Tab* *Family View Labels* Choose the labels you would like to use when displaying this marriage couple. The default labels are *Husb* and *Wife*. *Default Report Phrases if this is the First Marriage* The traditional (and default) phrase used when printing reports is " *married*". John married Sarah..., or Sarah married John.... If the *This couple did not marry *option has been selected, the default changes to "*had a relationship with*". John had a relationship with Sarah..., or Sarah had a relationship with John.... (The defaults for these two phrases can be changed globally in the *Options > Customize > View > Default Family View Labels and Report Wording *box.) If you want to change the phrase for this marriage/partnership only, you can type a new phrase into the box. Keep in mind that this phrase is used to build the beginning of a sentence. The sentence will then have the date and place added to it. John married Sarah on 12 Dec 1888 in London, England... *Overriding the Report Phrases* If you would like to completely change the narrative wording that Legacy normally uses to construct a sentence for a report, you can change it to anything you want to. Whereas the default wording above automatically inserts the first name of each of the spouses/partners, these new override phrases does not. You must include the names in the phrase. This gives you the option to modify the names and to change the order of the parts. Johnny took Sarah as his wife ... or Johnny and Sarah got married ... or John married his high school sweetheart Sarah .... Again, this is the beginning portion of a sentence that will have the date and location added to it, so keep this in mind. You must construct two versions of the sentence, one describing the husband's first marriage (or partnership) and the other describing the wife's first marriage. *Default Report Phrases if this is Not the First Marriage* Similar to the wording for a first marriage, the default phrase used for a second or later marriage is "*next married*" or "*next had a relationship with*". John next married Sarah..., or Sarah next had a relationship with John.... If you want to change the phrase for this subsequent marriage/partnership only, you can type a new phrase into the box. *Overriding the Report Phrases* Just as with the first marriage, you can enter your own wording for later marriages. Later in his life Johnny got remarried to Ruth ... or Several years after her divorce, Sarah met a man named Alfred and they were married .... Again, this is the beginning portion of a sentence that will have the date and location added to it, so don't put a period at the end. Again, as with the first marriage, you must construct two versions of the sentence. *Other word substitutes* You can also change the terms *Spouse* and *Marriage* to other words that will be used in various reporting situations. ___ Leon Chapman [email protected] ----- On Tue, Nov 14, 2017 at 5:25 PM, Leon Chapman <[email protected]> wrote: > Ruth: > > Go to the person that has no wife and click on their Marriage information > below the two people in family view. > In this window, select the Tab at top that says: Wording Options. > > You can change the wording options to whatever you like there for that > couple. > Try a few things and print/preview a report and see what your changes look > like in the report. > > You will need to do this for each family you do not have a spouse for if > you want the wording changed. > > > > ___ > Leon Chapman > [email protected] > ----- > > On Tue, Nov 14, 2017 at 2:59 PM, frankinthevillages < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> I think this can only be changed in the Marriage/Relationship Information >> window for each listing you want to change (i.e., there is no "global" >> setting for this that I know of). >> With the appropriate Family tab opened, click the Marriage Events button >> (screen center - righthand side), then Wording Options and modify or delete >> the phrase. >> >> By chance, Ruth, do you know a solution to a similar problem I posted >> earlier today? >> Is there a way to suppress (remove) blank spaces in reports? >> Specifically, I'm printing a Name List (Index) Report, and for every >> listing that lacks birth and death dates, it prints thusly: >> John DOE ( - ) >> >> Is there a way to eliminate the blanks where there is no data present? >> >> ------ Original Message ------ >> From: "Ruth Mohr" <[email protected]> >> To: "Legacy User Group" <[email protected]> >> Sent: 11/14/2017 4:35:23 PM >> Subject: [LegacyUG] Ancestor Book Report >> >> If I go back several generations I have several great (6, 7 , etc) >> grandparents with whom I do not know the name of their spouse or I should >> say the other parent of their child. >> When the report is created it shows for example "John Green married >> someone".
