Hi Bill,
I know very little about PAF but have you noticed
you can import some PAF files directly into Legacy?
Take a look at the File > Import list.
From the Help file
This covers PAF 3.x, PAF 4.0, and PAF 5.x files and Ancestral Quest 3.x files.
To import a Personal Ancestral File® (PAF file) into Legacy:
1. From the File menu, choose Import From
2. Choose PAF 3, 4, 5 or Ancestral Quest 3 File
3. Specify the location of the PAF file you want to import.
4. Choose the OK button.
5. Decide if you want to import the PAF file into
the current Family File or into a new Family File
and choose the appropriate button. If you choose
to create a new Family File, Legacy prompts you
for a filename before proceeding. Importing into
a new file also allows Legacy to use the same ID
numbers that were assigned by Personal Ancestral
File. If you import into a Family File with
existing individuals, Legacy may not be able to
retain the incoming ID numbers because they might already be in use.
6. Set the desired options. Each is described below.
7. When you are ready to import, choose the START
IMPORT button. Legacy imports the PAF file while displaying a progress meter.
Note: You can also import files into Legacy
using the Import Wizard. (See
<mk:@MSITStore:D:\Programs%20Installed\Legacy6%20GR\Legacy6.chm::/html/import_wizard.htm>Import
Wizard for more information.)

I would like to find out if there is a simple
way of transferring sources from PAF to
Legacy. In PAF my sources are designated with
the ! prefix. When I load my GEDCOM file into
Legacy I would like these sources go directly into the source file. Any ideas?
Bill
