In Family Tree Maker, have a check-box for: A. Relationship: This couple did not marry. B. Relationship: This couple did not have any children. C. Individual: This individual never married and had no children. FTM does this now via custom facts for the things that you want 2. Report: Person Reports >> Individual Report I personally would like to see the person's name, DOB, DOD, parents and spouse(s) on the front page. Instead, it shows individual facts first and then shared facts ..... so spouse(s) often wind up on the last page. I don't want to flip through this report to find something as essential as spouse's name. 3. Split the NAME field into FIRST, MIDDLE, LAST, PREFIX and SUFFIX. I like to be able to see titles (Captain) and it helps with reports, especially when some people do not have all parts of their names identified. FTM does this now. Click in the name field and a pencil icon is revealed. Click on the pencil icon to show the detail name editing field. You can also add diacritcal symbols and umlauts Titles are not entered her but in the Title Fact 4. In FTM, please allow us to see all of the text in the Description field! I find that I have to copy it into notepad to read all of the content. (This is when you click on a person and then click the PERSON tab to see all of the facts for that person.... both the left and right columns show the description field, and you cannot see the entire content in either view. 5. Additional content for a fact. In Legacy, each fact has date, place, description and NOTES where you are able to add more information about that fact. There is also a check box that allows you to specify whether or not you'd like to add the event notes to the sentence (the sentence created in reports from the data added to the fact). I find that with certain events I want to be able to add more content and cannot.... I sometimes add multiple facts to allow more room to add additional content. ********************************** List information page http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/other/Software/FTM-TECH.html ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to FTM-TECH-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
