RE: [LegacyUG] Descendant Narrative book report. Chronology report
Version 8 did go through alpha testing. You are now all beta testers but don’t realize it. The already announced version 9 will be the RTM final version released to the public.

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant Narrative book report. Chronology report
I once had a similar problem in Another Program; turned out that I had touched the CTL key while the notes were open; this created an invisible-to-the-naked-eye note in the NOTES field, which insisted on printing. If it's printing the program thinks there's a note, and if you don't think so, you'll need to do as Jay suggests to remove what isn't there. Sort of. Cheryl J.M.

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant Narrative book report. Chronology report
I had a problem with one version of Legacy where duplicate sources were created by the program by adding hidden format data to existing source info that was visible on the preview screen. Could see it in the preview, but if I opened the source notes, they were not visible. Once I opened the source notes and closed the source in a later version of Legacy, the hidden format data was removed, and then I had two identical sources which could be merged. Strange things can happen when programmers make mistakes!

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant Narrative book report. Chronology report
The missing spaces between parent names is a known problem and is recorded in our tracking system. As others have suggested you probably have a non-visible character like a space or blank line in the marriage notes so Legacy is including that in your report. Open the marriage notes and use CTRL-A to select all. Then hit the delete button to remove the selected content.

RE: [LegacyUG] Descendant Narrative book report. Chronology report
When you look at Marriage notes on the screen, is the cursor at the very left and top of the space? If you ever opened that screen page before, you may have inadvertently hit the space bar or enter key. Nothing would show in the notes, but there would be a space and extra line. Just a thought.
