Editing Connections links

[Laurie Sherman]

First of all, I want to say how thrilled I am with all of the new features of Reunion 13. (Well...certainly the ones I've been able to review, so far; it's quite a list!) Clearly, Leister listens to the input of its customers! Thank you!!!

My favorite feature, to date, is Connections. But...I'm feeling inept with regard to one aspect of it.

According to the manual, we should be able to edit the text "containing and surrounding the linked name." However, that's not working for me. If I try to edit the text, it just engages the link, so to speak, and the Quickview menu comes up. What am I doing wrong?!

On a related note: is there a way -- or could there be? ;-D -- to change the color of the Connections links? I know blue is the standard color for such things, but I tend to color-code my notes, and in my "blue notes," the links won't stand out as well as I'd like. I'd prefer if I could make all (or at least some of) my Connections links red.

And, while I'm writing: another big thank you for the QuickView links in "Other Spouses" and "Other Children." So convenient!

Hi Laurie,

The key to editing connection text in the note field is to click the mouse cursor before or after the linked text. And then move the cursor with the arrow keys on your keyboard to where you want to add or delete characters. (When you initially click, it can be any number of characters before or after; it doesn't have to be immediately before or after.)

Currently, the color of connection text can't be changed. (However, your feedback is noted.)
