Removing LDS Information from Roots Magic Reports

If you are printing a report (like a family group sheet or a pedigree chart etc.) and do not want the LDS ordinances to show, follow these simple steps to prepare your reports for printing.

Directions supplied by Roots Magic Forum

There are a couple of options for hiding LDS information.

   **  Do Tools > File Options and then unmark the LDS Support checkbox (note:  make sure ALL of the
          LDS boxes are unchecked).  This will turn off displays like the temple and BEPS in the status area.  (This may do the trick but if you need more do the next step)
  1. Do Lists > Fact Type list, then select and edit the 6 LDS ordinance fact types (LDS Baptism, LDS Endowment, etc).  You can turn off where each of these fact types will print (group sheets, narratives, individual summary, and lists).
Note: that turning these options off will not keep any LDS ordinances in a person's edit screen from displaying (just like there isn't an option to hide Jewish, Catholic, or other categories of facts entered for a person).  RootsMagic will always display all data entered for a person.

Another option: IF you only want to remove the LDS detail, to generate a report, you can GEDCOM to a new database without the LDS info, run the report, and then delete the new database.
Note:  When you have competed printing the reports without the LDS information, go back into Tools, File Options and click in all 4 LDS boxes to restore the view of the LDS information.
