    1. [RMagic] Custom Sentence(s)

    3. For some reason, I am really having trouble getting my head wrapped around creating custom sentences. Is there a tutorial that walks you through creating custom fact sentences with an example of what the finished product looks like when it prints out? One example of what I am attempting to accomplish is a shared census fact. I have created the census fact under the principal - head of household. I have added the wife as a witness. The sentence template is: [Role] appeared in the household of [person] in the census< [Date]>< [PlaceDetails]>< [Place]>. The result that I am getting is: [Role] appeared in the household of John Kane..... The result that I am looking for is: Harriet Kane, wife of head of household John Kane appeared in the census........ Is it possible to create a narrative type sentence similar to the above? I would greatly appreciate any guidance on how to achieve my goal. Regards. Ron Bernier, Woonsocket, RI

    3. What is her role? For the principal's sentence put the name of the role or the sharee in the square brackets. But more likely, It looks like you are talking about the sharee's sentence, use [ThisPerson] instead of [role] Alfred =========== Ron wrote: > For some reason, I am really having trouble getting my head wrapped > around creating custom sentences.
