Thanks Dennis and Peter. Despite not making myself clear enough, you've
answered my question. Although I suspected I was correct about picture

I changed the pictures locations to D drive, moved all the picture files

You could use search and replace.
Search the ‘given names’ for a single letter, ‘matching whole word only’ and
replace with the single letter followed by a period.
Unfortunately Legacy does not have regular expressions so you have to do this
for every letter of the alphabet.
