<< have a Probate tag and in that tag I have a principal, who is entered as

"deceased" role, and I've also entered all his beneficiaries (beneficiary
roles) under the witness screen. (Well, shall I say, TMG converted these
for
me from UFT.)

Here is how the beneficiary Witness entry screen reads:
[RF:beneficiary] was listed as a beneficiary in [R:Deceased]'s will <[L]>
<[D]>.

Here is how the deceased Principal entry screen reads:
[RF:Deceased]'s will was probated <at [DETAIL]> <[L]> <[D]>. <[M].>

A couple of problems I run into when I print a Genealogy Report Reverse
Register report:

1. All of the children's first names (strung together) print out in the
sentence under each child's paragraph on the report as follows:
"Clara, Charles, Fred, and Sam was listed as a beneficiary in Elijah Barton
Brown's will in Black River Falls, Jackson Co, WI on Jul 28, 1899. (Memo
started printing here)" instead of just the one beneficiary at a time.
Therefore, the "was" is incorrect and should be "were" if all are going to
print like that. I would prefer to leave the "was" and have TMG just print
one name under that person's paragraph, like: "Clara was listed as a
beneficiary in Elijah's...". >>
Laurie,
This one is easy. Change the[RF:beneficiary] to [W] and it will one name.
