You can also add timelines right within the Legacy Programs (where you
would select a timeline, click on the Add button.) - then you don't need to
worry about the exact format, because you use an editor that creates the
file in the format.
I'm not sure which reports can use the timeline (which i believe was the
question) - as I really don't print a lot of reports....

Kane,
Yes you can.
As Cathy says, you can follow the instructions to write one from within
Legacy, or if you already have one as text then you can do the following:
The timeline is simply a text file. You learn the construction I suggest
that you go the Legacy folder and open Timelines>English and open a
convenient file by double clicking.
You will see that the various columns are separated by " | " (no inverted
commas but note the spaces).
If you have a carriage return within a field then this uses "{\n}". Also
note that the first column contains a zero.
To put it in the Legacy format simply replace the attributes with the
correct Legacy attributes and save in Timelines>English.
