    memos and gedcom export

    I've run into a problem with the way Reunion exports the memo contents of an event. In the gedcom file an event might look like this exported from Reunion:

    1 RESI
    2 DATE 31 AUG 1963
    2 PLAC Dundalk, Baltimore, Baltimore, Maryland, United States
    2 NOTE 1234 My Road
    2 SOUR @S1@

    Unfortunately, most of the people I exchange files with aren't getting the note or are gettingit buried in a way where it isn't very easy for them to see.

    Comparing how RootsMagic exports it's description field, it comes out like this:

    1 RESI 1234 My Road
    2 DATE 31 AUG 1963
    2 PLAC Dundalk, Baltimore, Maryland, United States

    If I send either of those exports to, say, ancestry.com, the second gets imported in a way that the "1234 My Road" becomes part of the event, but Reunion's note gets buried in way that it isn't very easy to see.

    Is there a way to get Reunion to export it's memos using the second style? My memo's are all short, one line tidbits about the event, not real notes and the second style would make interoperability much, much simpler.
