Frank, It appears you’ve come up with a work-a-round to resolve your issue with your report. I’ve been trying to duplicate this and I can’t produce the ( - ) in an Index report printed from the Name List. I choose Died as one of the items to include and where no death date has been entered, nothing is printed. It is just blank. Perhaps I’m creating and printing this report from a different area. Mine was accessed and formatted from the Name List, choosing Print and selecting the items I wished to be included. It is titled Index Report. Are we both working from the same area in Legacy? I don’t doubt you are seeing this in your report. I’m just trying to duplicate your issue and wonder what I might be doing differently. OK, I’ve reread your initial question and I see the field appears to be a combined date field. Is it a birth and death field? Did you select this to display as a combined field? I can’t find a selectable field like this so I must be in the wrong area of Legacy or perhaps I’m just overlooking this selection (quite likely!:-).

After it converts, do a standard Find/Replace, then re-save to .pdf. (By they way, there are 10 spaces between the parens and the dash.) ------ Forwarded Message ------ From: "frankinthevillages" <frank.thevilla...@gmail.com> To: legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com Sent: 11/14/2017 1:59:22 PM Subject: How to suppress blank spaces in reports 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? Thanks, all! Frank
