When importing a GEDCOM file, Legacy will tell you when it doesn't recognise a tag from the incoming file and allow you to map it a tag that it does know. Even when it does recognise all the tags, you can still customise how Legacy handles some tags. > Q2. How do you access Legacy Tables to view&/or Print? Since you obviously don't have Access, OpenOffice.org is a good place to start.
