Thank you Patricia! Now I can stop trying. The only thing left I can think of might be a global replace of the source for each of the 65 invidual facts connected to it. I may have one too many characters for the line and it pushes the period to the next line. I have tried everything I can think of to fix it. And checked everything attached to it. It only happens in the Family Group Chart. The source cannot be edited and show up in the Family Group Sheet - I suppose because it has individual facts connected. I deleted most of the material in the source, but it still reflects the same information I began with. Everything works correctly in the "Book" mode for sources.

As much as I really love FO, that one little thing has been irritating to me for a long while now. You can twiddle-tweak a source spacing to get it to print without an orphaned period on one report, but later, on some other occasion when you may print another report or change the font or margins of the report, it shows up again. So far, I haven't found any way to completely eliminate the problem from reoccurring. Patricia At 01:46 PM 7/31/01 -0500, Betty Stokes wrote: >Thank you Patricia! > >Now I can stop trying.
