problem (and now mine). When you print the Family Group Records for
example you need to check the Index options box (bottom left in the

I also was a bit lost whether Bill was referring to the Customising

Nor do I see how changing the labels moved the Baptism events out of
the main section into the Events section so perhaps I've
misunderstood.

If you right click beside the labels in the family view the customize screen
appears. Click the last field customize box and the list of fields available
appears. Click on event and a list of all event types appears and then

You do understand the record. It assumes you won't be
