Subject: Re: [TMG] Help: "in near" in journal narrative
Date: Wed, 1 Aug 2001 22:04:46 EDT


I already asked this question and got no answer. Maybe by rephrasing it,
it'll ring a bell with someone.

The following is an excerpt from a journal narrative I generated:

1. George1 O'Neal (133)...
6. viii. Lewis (1069), born 20 April 1799 in near Nealton, Jessamine
County, Kentucky; married Louisa Ann Young Lowry (1103); married Nancy E.
Kent (2754).

6. Lewis2 Neal (1069) (George1O'Neal) was born on 20 April 1799 near Nealton,

The first entry for Lewis is under his father's heading (He's the sixth
child.). This one ALWAYS contains "in" and then "near Nealton." However,
for Lewis himself (the second line for him), I have modified the sentence
format to take away the angle brackets and the sentence prints fine, i.e.,
without the "in".

I notice that I can find no way to modify the sentence which is printed
under his father's heading.

If I tell the report generator not to generate an automatic "in", it screws
up all the other sentences.

Help, please. What can I do?

John,

I've noticed the same thing and have found no way to correct other than in
word processor.

I've selected "at" for the preposition I whan to print before locations. When
I just know the county or U.S. state I change the sentence to read e.g. <in
[L]>
When the person is listed under the father it prints e.g.
"John was born at France"
But in his section it is correct "John was born in France"

If you find a solution, let me know
