I think part of the problem could be solved if there was a hand-tool to
drag the image around on the Legacy viewing screen rather than the
horizontal and vertical scrolls that tend to be more tedious than necessary.

Kris,
The short answers are "no" and "don't know but unlikely". I don't really
understand why you can't read them easily though. I use jpgs for census records and with the Zoom I
can read them fine.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Viewing Multi-Page Attachments
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
When I attach a PDF to a source, I have to put it in as a sound or video
file, and show all "All files", but after I do that and get the document
attached, when I click on it, it will open Adobe Reader and I can read the
entire document with just vertical scrolling -- which is one of the
reasons I prefer this format.
When I attach a multi-page TIF, it is easier because I can just go to
"picture" when attaching it (and the scanning process is easier, too).
After that when I click on it, it opens in Legacy's image viewer, but
there are so many buttons and things there, the actual image view window
is fairly small. There's a lot of horizontal scrolling that needs to be
done to see what's there after I make it big enough that I can read it.
I'd like to use TIF since the whole process of scanning and attaching
requires fewer steps, but is there some option I an use to tell Legacy to
open the image with another program? Like Irfanview?
I'd like to find out, if this can't be done now, if it will be something
available when v.7 comes out. Is there a link to information about v.7 so
I can just look these things up for myself?
Thanks!
