I am just now learning sentences so I may have missed something here.  I have a photo from a family reunion with 20+ people in it.  These people are all in my database.  I added a Tag to one of these people and then added the rest as witnesses.  I changed the sentence fpr all of the individuals so that it would list all of the names in reports.  This change is reflected in both the principle and the individual witnesses in person view.  However when i create a report only the principle is shown. 

 

The new sentence is:  [M] with [P], [WO]<was |and [WO] were> <[D]> <[L]>
 

When I view it in the Tag Entry screen it reads:

 

Was present at a family reunion for descendents of Decanie Dexter Dowling with Saidee Elise Dowling, Henry A Roseberry, Mary Martha Dowling, Edna Tuten, George Odom James, Rosena Youmans, James Frankling Dowling, Cameron Leroy Dowling, Moye Clifton Dowling, Wilbur Boyce Dowling, Lois Duncan, Maude Wiggins, Lily Maude Boyd, Harriet Mamie Sue Dowling, Edna Lenora 'Nonie' Dowling, Ida Mae Dowling, Ethel Louise McDaniel, Miki Ann Fluker, Anna Ruth Flood, Herbert Lewis Dowling, Richard Lewis Dowling, Robert Warren Dowling, James Austin Dowling, Edward Hawthorne Fluker Jr., David Thornton Fluker Jr, Bobbie Fluker, Walter Dowling Wood and Joan Fluker was spring 1954 in Herbert Dowling's home, Treasure Island, Pinellas, Florida.

 

However it only reads this way for the principle in a report .  For the witnesses it reads: 

 

Ethel Louise McDaniel was a witness when an unknown person was Family reunion for Decanie Dexter Dowling's descendents in spring 1954 in 1954 at Treasure Island, Pinellas, Florida

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks,

Walter

It looks like you have the default Witness Sentences being used. If you have in fact changed the Witness Sentences the issue is most likely issue is one of Languages - the Language in which you entered the Sentences is not the same one that's been specified for the report.

 

Verify the Language that appears at the top right of the Tag Entry screen, then compare it to the one specified on the General tab of options for the report you are using.

Everything appears to be English US. 

 

I am also seeing the same result in Second Site 5

Walter,

 

If you open the Tag, and then double-click on the appearance of Ethel Louise McDaniel as a Witness, what does her Sentence say there?
