GOT it! removed all the in - the - etc.. and it came out thus: [Person:Poss] obituary appeared [desc] [date]< [place]> and works perfectly. Thanks Jennifer!

Opps, my bad. On is built into [date]. I also put in the option so that you can put the newspaper location in, but if you don't, nothing will show up.Try this: [Person:Poss] obituary appeared in the [desc] [date]< [place]>.

Jennifer: that is really close.. just a few too many.. in the on after.. ;) It now reads: Name obituary appeared - in on after - and the rest is fine. I could not remove the word on as I could not see it in the customize part of the sentence. Thanks a bunch you got a lot closer then I did ;)

If you are using RM4, you can change the sentence so that all obituary facts say that or just one person's. To change them all, go to Lists>Fact Type List>Obituary>Edit>Edit Role and paste the following in. To change just one person's, click on their obituary fact and then click "customize this sentence." You put the newspaper name in the description field. Paste in the following: [Person:Poss] obituary appeared in the [desc] on [date]< [place]>.

I have an obituary fact. I would like the sentence to say: [name]'s obituary was in the [newspaper] on [date]. I can get close but not quite right. Can anyone help?

Well it almost worked, Bill! Out of five pages the only disjointed one (not full page) is pg 4 about 1/2 and then skips the other half page to pg 5. I did catch the index earlier and had gotten rid of that. Thanks for all your good answers! and so prompt!~! Brenda

Brenda, try this. In the FGS setup, uncheck Start notes on a new page. Click the Sources button, and click Footnotes printed at the bottom of the page, and click OK. Then click Generate Report. If you want, you can click on the Indexes button, and select No Name Index on the Name Index tab, and No Place Index on the Place Index tab. This will print the notes and sources on the same page, unless there is too much stuff to fit on one page, it will overflow onto other pages. However, you won't have extra pages for the sake of extra pages.

Do you know of another way to utilize the reports in a sensible manner without wasting reams of paper. I think it best I forget RM4 until this is changed and just do RM3 where I can do just whats she wants. Thanks. Can we get this suggestion to Bruce?

Brenda, If when you generate a GEDCOM, you check to option to exclude "Extra details (RM specific)", the GEDCOM can be taken back into RM3. Be sure to check that all facts are included in the GEDCOM in Lists, Fact Type list, and that Privatize living people is off, include private facts and notes are on, but strip brackets is off.
