Re: Re: [LegacyUG] Using color
I tried putting probable parent in the title space, but, when I do an individual report of the parent, their name is given as Probabl parent Margaret McKinney. That won't do. Am I missing something? This doesn't seem like rocket science. Why can't we have a way to designate a special condition of a person? Surety is not the answer for this, since it isn't displayed on the family screen, nor in basic report facts. Color would be the best way I would guess.

Colour might seem like the best way, but as it isn't an option you are going to have to accept a not-so-good way. If you don't like the way something in Title Prefix or Title Suffix appears in a Report your best possibly option is probably going to be to use the Title Prefix or Title Suffix field but enter the information in Privacy Brackets (enter [[probably parent]]) and then edit any Report you produce to add a Note about this person's status. This seems unnecessarily long-winded to me, though. I see nothing wrong with entering something like (possible parent of Joe Bloggs) in the Title SUFFIX field, which causes a Report to read John Bloggs (possible parent of Joe Bloggs) was born ... -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

Re: [LegacyUG] Using color
To the best of my knowledge, you cannot color code a single individual. If I'm wrong, others will correct me and I'll learn something too. The Surety field is generally used for this kind of stuff, but that's connected to sources (Source Detail). You could, however, use sources to document this. I'm assuming you found that person X is the child of parents Y and Z from some source. That source perhaps provided the name. In the source detail for name, you can select a lower surety level, and add any notes (Text/Comments) you wish. If you don't wish to use the name field, you can also attach Sources to the person, generally (Unspecified) Another alternative, if you wish to see it on the Family View, is to create either a Child Status or Relationship to your liking and record it for each suspect child. The Child Status will show on the Family View. Keep in mind you can only select one Status or Relationship -- so if the child is both a twin and stillborn, sorry, pick one from the Status (a potential Legacy suggestion?!)

Re: [LegacyUG] Using color
The short answer is No there is no way to colour code individuals other than the colours for male, female, unknown in name lists and the colour boxes for the ancestor colour coding.
