Dennis,
As soon as you enter Unknown you deprive yourself of the different ways
Legacy has of searching for or displaying in Reports that information is
unknown. See the option in Book reorts to add underlines for missing

genealogists, I advisee them to please contact me regarding any of my
unknowns for which they may have better information. Also it's nice to be

Was the report you created saved to pdf format?
If so, the Win 10 version of Internet Explorer is called 'Edge',

You keep saying that you are using the program in anger. If Legacy or any
program is causing you anger, then don't use it. Nobody is forcing you to
