This one baffles me. I have just spent the better part of this day trying to figure out why the "birth" information is not showing up in my printed book. When I go to write a report, on one single individual, the first thing that the sentence states is death information. I have gone to see if "birth" information was deleted from the printing setup, but I do not see that that has happened. I even tried to see if by adding the information to the "note" would cause the birth date to appear, it does, but then not immediately after the name of the person in the report is given. I would prefer to have it as the first source of information in a book or a report. I believe that it used to work correctly in my previous Family Origins programs, versions 4,5 and 7. With all of the strange things that have happened to my version 10, I am wondering if something was deleted to cause the birth information to be deleted when writing up a report. I would like to have this show up! in my book in a reasonable sequence, is there any way I can correct this problem?

(new laptop, NOT used to the hair trigger touch pad!!) I changed all given names "Allen" to "Alan". I have a lot of "Alan"s now and want to correct the spelling of those that need it... I have over 32,000 people in my data base so it is hard to scan them all. I have tried to use Explorer- Fine- but all I come up with is the 1st Allen listed in the Explorer. What do I need to do to find all of them? Can I print out a list? Perhaps I'm using the wrong tool for this? Tried to search archives this evening but am having a problem staying online. Thanks for any and all help.

I mentioned that it is always best to have a backup before doing something like this. Shame on you id you don't have one. But, to get a list of everyone in the database with a given name which contains "Alan" you can: Go to the Reports menu, Select "Lists" Select "Individual List" - Hit the create button -- on the Individual List dialog window, Select "Select Individuals" And any other options you want on the list Send it to a file or screen printer to preview and/or print == Select OK -- On the green side, the mark side of the "Print which individuals?" dialog window, choose "Find" Then choose given name for "Which field" Choose "Contains" as the comparison And enter "Alan " in the "Search for? Field and hit the Ok button, hit Ok again and you should have your list. Alfred D.
