Edit name in RTF census grid

Post by Nicola » 18 Dec 2022 00:03

I'm just at the practising stage of using AS and have come across an issue that I'm sure is simple to solve but I just can't see it!

I have an Irish family who spent a census year in Cornwall and undoubtedly as a result of unfamiliar accents, their surname and some of their forenames are seriously misspelt! If I enter the individuals direct from the database, their names appear in the RTF grid as hyperlinks so I can't edit them to reflect the enumerator's spelling.

Do I simply switch off the hyperlink on the options, edit the names, then switch the hyperlink back on? Or is there another way please?

Thanks.

Nicola, you can edit those hyperlink names.
Double-click on the hyperlink and a popup Hyperlink Edit box appears in which you can change the Display Name.
