Well, hopefully the dust will settle soon. I really don't think that this should be a very difficult problem to fix. The rest of the program is so great that it won't hurt me to be patient a little longer.

Lisle Sent: Monday, March 18, 2002 9:29 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Problems with "Book" Reports Hi, I concur that this is a problem. Actually, it is much more of a problem than you have described! Yes, there are some formatting problems for anyone with ONLY a given name or a surname and a suffix title. (All examples assume that customizations set to insert comma before suffix title.) (All tests done with Descendant Book Report only, others probably the same.) (I do not see any problems - yet - when both given and surnames exist.) Report Preview, PDF, Printout, RTF*, Web (all give same result) Only Surname Only Given Name Title Page OK Space before Comma Page Header OK Space before Comma Biography Paragraph Space between, No space, No Comma No Comma as spouse in Bio OK Space before Comma as child in Bio Space between, No space, No Comma No comma * RTF file gives some additional text that looks like RTF commands, but it does print out. But these types of spacing / formatting problems also occur in family view, chronology view and report, and some other places. john. At 05:57 AM 3/18/2002 -0800, T.
