Their facility is wonderful, however. Good idea. >The Story tab is losing the names of spouses, parents and descendants when >there is a continuation of the name after the surname / / block. I had some tests where names after // did show. However, I do know that names get lost if there are any parenthesis ( ). This I do not understand. It is due to the TX Text OCX that allows the RTF capabilities. They are coming out with an upgrade later in the year and so hope that some small annoying things get fixed. I might point out that there is an "Option" for Story Formats. I like to enter the entire name in BOLD with a different color - like maroon (dark red) and the surname the same with underlining.
