Ron, you already know my problems with the Descendent Book Report so I won't
go into that. These are my newest problems.
Marriage Information screen
Clicked on Wording Option
I don't know the spouse's name so I deleted the word someone
He remarried, don't know that spouse's name so I deleted the word someone
Should read: Luigi married and Luigi next married
It reads Luigi married someone and Luigi next married (name unknown), a
change I made a couple days ago. Must be a .usr file I need to delete, but
which one?
(The only way I can do a accurate Descendent Report is in .pdf and since I
can't edit a .pdf I can't manually change the wording, thereby making the
.pdf not usable.)
In Name List Screen
Highlighted one of my ancestors
Clicked Edit tab
Clicked the AKA and deleted it.
Entire Name List went blank.
I added a new source:
View
Master Lists
Event Definition
Add
In the Enter an Event Name, etc. I typed Birth Doc. No. and checked the
Private box
The check mark doesn't stay. Every time I enter a Birth Doc. No. I have to
manually check the Private box.
I still don't feel I have the knowledge to do the Gedcom's of my files,
delete Ver. 7 and download Ver. 6 and know that all my data will download
into Ver. 6 correctly and fully. What to do? I'm an unhappy camper.

Ruth,
I know that you are a long time supporter of Legacy and like yourself I am
aware of a number of bugs which still need to be resolved (and let's not
forget the pressure which some members of this group applied to get V7 out).
However, these have not prevented me from continuing to publish and update
my web pages.
I have been careful only to move on a step-by-step basis. I have not done a
bulk change of sources for example. I have the option set for the Source
Writer and do not change this but I have only introduced the new formats for
new entries. So far this has covered, all UK censuses, BMDs, Certificates,
E-mails, Parish Registers and Personal. Whilst I have needed to fill in some
of the boxes somewhat differently from the way they were intended I have not
had problems. As time goes on I will slowly be transferring my existing
sources to the new formats.
Which marriage screen have you been unable to change the overwrite wording
in (and have we ever been able to)? It is not something I have found, but
then I haven't wanted to either.
What check boxes are not sticking? - some weren't initially but I have not
recently noticed this problem, so I took it that it had been resolved. The
Help Index seems to me to be exactly the same as it was, apart from the
addition of the new entries, and to date I have not had a problem with it.
Yes, I still hit problems, sometimes because it's just new and I have to
work out how to do things properly and others because of a minor bug but I
have consistanly managed to find a way of working round them.

I have been such an advocate for Legacy in the past, but find its problems
with Ver. 7 and no knowledge of when they will be fixed makes me wonder -
has Legacy gotten so far ahead of itself that it's lost sight of what its
use is? If I can't produce a report that prints properly, if I can't check
a
box and the check sticks, if I can't change the wording overwrite in the
marriage screen and have what I want said print in a document, all it's
good
for is - me - to collect information. As it stands now I can't share
information with anyone. What good does the Geo location do me when I
can't
produce a report. Source writer - my sources are fine - I didn't need
anything better. The Help index is so hard to use. I can't find the topic
I'm looking for Help with because the titles are beyond understanding.
What
has happened to Legacy? It's become a huge disappointment for me. Can we
get
back to the basic Legacy program and correct its bugs, please?
