    Spreadsheets are very handy for lists of ... reports. What I like about them is that you can set the width of you column to as many characters as necessary to accommodate your columns. The result, you don't have to worry about truncation. See attached samples. After sending the report to Excel, I just open it and then drag the column headings to show all the info. You also do not have to worry about using courier, etc. fonts to keep your columns in line. The allows the use of compressed fonts to squeeze it all in for a report with lots of data/columns.

    :( Well, the forum would not let me add an Excel spreadsheet but if you would like to see it, I'd be willing to send it to you. The Word version of the report is attached. GreenwoodCemlotsec.DOC

    All reports are formatted in Times Roman 12 point even if they are formatted in the TMG report writer in Arial 10 pt type and the font cannot be changed once the document is in WordPerfect! /snapback]

    I just had a similar font problem in MS Word for a Family Group Sheet. I ran an FGS and did not like the size of the names. I went into the font tab and it said the fonts for the names were Arial 11 with Arial 9 for everything else but titles. When I changed the 11 pt names to a 10 pt bold and reran the report, the names were SMALLER than the 9 pt type! I went back into the font page and sure enough, each 9 pt font "looked" larger than the 10 pt I had just changed. I changed another and it was smaller. I reran the report and the 9 pt was still larger than the new 10 pt! I then reset them all and everything was back to normal... Could you be having a similar problem with WordPerfect?

    I'd suppose it's because Probate always comes after death, and, just guessing, this keeps the tag from showing up in the audit report as a "after death event." 

     

    The will is always written before death; probate always occurs after death. I'd think that's the reasoning.

     

    Could it be so that the probate tag shows up in the BMDB paragraph, especially when a death date is missing?

    For those who are following the list, I thought I would offer those icons I have developed. Many of them I have found searching for "small" images with Google's advanced image search.

    After locating an image, usually an icon but often a small bitmap or jpeg button, I crop the photo and/or resize to work with TMG.

     

    Hope some of you find these helpful!

    I don't know how people got forums/ (the folder, not the file) saved as a bookmark since, to my knowledge, we've never published such an address.

     

    This happened to me this morning, too. Same address:

    I got the link by dragging it to my "Links" section of IE. I just changed it to forums201 to see if it works, it does.

    However, I am going to use the link you just gave, instead...
