I wonder how I should enter names for persons in LifeLines. I understand general GEDCOM names, but I have a bit of trouble with Swedish names.
Normally, a Swede has a couple of given names, but only one is used daily. When printing Swedish names in a genealogical chart, the standard way is to print all the names with the normally used name underlined.
I've only entered half a dozen people yet to make myself aquainted with the program yet (and have been spending about as much time messing with the code as with the program) and have entered names with underscores as indicators. For instance, my name is entered as
_Hans_ Gunnar/Persson/
In some situations this works fine (display on screen, for instance). When printing the data to PostScript reports is looks ugly (but understandable). It's a pain, though, having to enter the underscores when browsing for people.
Is there a better way to do this?
