There was a problem reported in June regarding formatting problems with
multi-line text fields converted back to Legacy after being edited in Families.
This was caused because iOS separates lines with newline characters, whereas
Windows requires both newline AND carriage return. This problem

Why don't you make a copy of your Legacy file and test it out there?
Working with your own file (albeit a copy in case you don't like the

up your instructions as to the detailed format which you require, this

Check ‘Replace only found text with replacement text’ (Important)
Hi Jane. I'm not sure, off the top of my head, why those boxes are
greyed out for you. However, I think you might have great success with
the SEARCH and REPLACE module in Legacy. You can go there and select:
