The All Caps surnames is really an obsolete standard if you are using a
computer to record your genealogy. It dates from the days of typewriters

in mixed case. It is easy for the computer to display those mixed case

Yes, and I thought that's what the OP wanted as well. I didn't test this
myself so I might be wrong about clicking the Apply button. But why have an
Apply button if it doesn't do anything? If the Apply button doesn't do
anything it should be removed.

Just to be sure I looked this up in the Help File:
Letter Case of Surnames
Select the capitalization option you want to have applied to the Last
Name when the field is exited. (The default is Initial Caps.) If you
would like Legacy to go through the entire family file and format all
the last

In this case, doesn't the Apply button 'apply' to already entered surnames?
Ah yes! I see that you are quite correct. In this case, using the
Apply button prompts a question as to whether you wish to the settings
to be retrospective.

But it does do something! *As a general rule* an Apply button causes

You may be able to Alt+Tab to the correct window.

I've been trying to run a potential problems report today. Each time I try
it, my computer seems to freeze up. It shows 100% completed, but that's as
far as it ever gets. I've run this report before and I don't remember
having this problem. My tree is
'I do have one line that intermarried '
That is not a problem as is. I have hundreds of them.
It may cause problems if the marriages are like those
found in the 1950-60's song, I'm my own grandpa,
meaning dad's dad married dad's daughter, which should
not mess it up anyway. Did you just load the
