    1. [RMagic] Any Way to Change Fact Type?
    2. Laurie Nelson
    3. I don't think this can be done, but thought I'd ask. Luckily I have only a few fact types that I want to change to another fact type. I think I remember that this capability was in RM 4 or 5, but my memory ain't so good sometimes. e.g., I want to change a Miscellaneous fact to something like a Property fact without having to copy and move everything to the Property fact. Is that possible, even though the facts are different? Also I somehow wound up with two very similar user-defined facts from 3-4 years ago, but I only need one. The one I want to get rid of is only used for two people. Is it possible to combine the two facts? TIA.

    3. In the <Edit Person> screen, click to highlight the fact you wish to change, then click the <Options> button and choose <Change fact type>. Individual facts can only be changed to other Individual fact types. Family facts can only be changed to other Family fact types. -- -- -- --Ô¿Ô-- K e V i N On Fri, Dec 21, 2012 at 4:21 AM, Laurie Nelson <lane-nelson@q.com> wrote: > I don't think this can be done, but thought I'd ask.
