Is there a way to globally change the order of the “Event/Fact” fields as they appear on the Edit page? I would find it very helpful to be able to view several pages in succession with all the listings in the same order, to avoid having to search each page for what I’m looking for. I have over 11,000 persons so doing this one page at a time is not a viable option. I’d like the option for both the non-family and the family listings. I think I may have asked this before, or maybe was just thinking about it, but – Is there a way to globally delete “Event/Fact”s that have no entries? That is, the field was selected but there is no Date; no in,at,etc; no Location/Description; no Note; no Source AND no Witness entries. Also, John, is there a way to change the field name “Social Security num” to just “SSN”? David Youse

To David Youse >From the main screen pick File, Utilities, Global Event Sort That sorts the individual events. There is not a way to globally delete blank events. What type of blank events do you have to delete? Can you give me an example. You can change SSN by making a COPY of the English.BKW file. For example ENGLISH2.EXE Then edit it to change to what you want. Be sure you do NOT add or delete any lines. Then start BK6 and pick Help, Change Language, and pick English2 (The reason to not edit the regular English.bkw file is that I change that with every update, so you do not want my changes to write over your changes.)
