Change Event to Fact?

[Kathy C]

I'm using Reunion 13 and just imported a gedcom into it. I have a small number of Facts that need to be fixed .... *New [DSCR], for one, listed as an Event. I would like to move that to a Fact field. Can I do that? I know how to move Events around. But, when I try to do this, there is no Description fact listed in the Fact section of the To drop-down menu, despite that it is listed in my Person Facts. So, can I do this?

Reunion allows you to create new Fact fields using the Field Preferences panel (accessed by choosing Reunion -> Preferences and clicking on Fields). Then, click on Person Fields. Next, click the "+ New Fact" button at the bottom. I recommend setting up the Description field like this...

Afterward, you will be able to use the Move panel...

...to move that "*New [DSCR]" field into the newly defined "Description" field.

I hope you find this information helpful
