Your can't be (easily) reversed only reinforces my caution, Wendy! ;)
Why? As has been said, Legacy8 will install alongside Legacy7.5 And use a
converted COPY of your data.
Are there other options that should be set BEFORE a conversion???

Your custom event sentences from L7.5 should migrate to L8. However, you
might wish to spend a few minutes reviewing them as the sentence syntax
has has changes and there are extensions.
Let me emphasize, that to get these conversions, you must convert the
family file and
I'm pretty sure I did a conversion - certainly didn't do a GEDCOM import.
Many of my sentences incorporated the Notes within the sentence - that's
how I'm pretty sure I've lost at least some of mine as my Census sentence
does not format the same any more.

Let me walk you through some of the changes.

Thanks for that explanation John.
For me personally, while it explains why my sentences no longer appear like
I planned them to, it does mean that I am going to have to go through each
Event Definition to ensure it will read in an appropriate way.
Not a problem in that respect, the bigger problem
Kathy,
The default is to leave the Notes on. I have not seen a case where Legacy
turned them off. Just now you have the option to turn them off either
locally or globally if you choose.
As for Sources, Option 7.10 controls their placement, before or after
notes, when using the default sentences
I understand all that John, my current issue is that what I had in my Notes
field in 7.5, is now in the Description field after a : (colon) after

I don't mind if notes and or sources are default on or off, I can adjust
that to suit me, what my issue with
Kathy,
I am a bit confused now.
Please send me email privately with your details and examples and maybe I
can make some progress with that.
thanks,

I'm not sure - I think I might have.
I'll have to double check a few different types, but I think I might have
because the one I'm looking at at the moment doesn't look right in it's
display.
