Hi Jim,
You have a settings issue. You could have solved this in Legacy 5 I think.
Options - Customise - Data Format tab in earlier versions Now section 3.
Instead of Initial Caps you choose Don't change what I enter. 3.6
for Locations but you can do it for names as well.

To add to this in the name index, even with birth and death dates added,
only the first occurrence of a name is indexed even when there are
several individuals with the same name

There is no way to change the highlight colour.
But you can change the colour of the text for

This is incorrect. Initial Caps does not change what you type. If you

I would like to add that this is a good way to corrupt your database. If you
