Start Legacy
Click on the INDEX tab
Click the OPTIONS button at the right edge
Make sure there's a check mark next to "Include Alternate Names" and next to
"Include Married Names"
If no checkmark is in front of one you want, just click on it
You should now see that info in the Index list
AKAs will show up with a Tilde in front (~), but they still sort "correctly"
(for example, "~Patton" *IS* listed in the P's with the rest of the PATTON
names)
Married names will show up with a "squiggly S" in front, and they too sort
"correctly"
(OK - they do not sort "correctly" computer-wise, but they do sort correctly
human-wise! A "true, correct" computer sort would have put all the "~" entries
together, then all the "squiggly S" together, and then the A-Z entries, but
Legacy managed to get it to sort they way humans would expect to see it. Not
sure how they managed that trick, but I'm glad they did! )

Subject: [LegacyUG] Legacy7-making sure all is correct after download
Hi everyone,
I've installed Legacy 7 Deluxe and have tried everything suggested on the
list (but maybe I missed a post?) on how to make the married names show up in
the index view. When I click on the home tab, it says I have the lastest
version, and I've right clicked on the toolbar and added the mapping and
charting icons, so it seems that the new version installed okay. I went to
options, customize, data entry, Rule for generating default names, chose option
1, and clicked apply. But when I go to the index view, nothing had changed.
The instructions on the email said:
If you have installed the Deluxe Edition you will still need to unlock the
new features to make them active. To do this:
1. Start Legacy.
2. From the Help pull down menu, choose UNLOCK LEGACY DELUXE.
3. Enter your name and your customer number. (see below)
4. Click the Unlock button.
I entered my customer number during the download process, but if I go to the
Help pull down menu, there is no such choice as "UNLOCK LEGACY DELUXE." I just
want to make sure I have truly "unlocked" ALL the new features.
One final thing, when I go to my C drive (I use Vista), I see two folders,
Legacy and LegacyChart 7. On my desktop I now how two icons for charting, one
that says LegacyChart which seems to go to the prerelease version and the other
says Legacy Charting 7 which goes to the new version. How do I delete the
pre-release version?
Thanks,
Melanie
