I am not Geoff (in case you hadn't noticed!!) but I find ABBYY Screenshot Reader (which I think might have been recommended by a LUGger - many thanks) very useful for quickly copying text from web pages to Legacy. So useful, in fact, that I was prepared to pay for it! By chance, it happens to be the free version of ABBYY OCR software which came with my scanner and I use that for documents. I also find FreeClip (which I have recommended here before) a real timesaver. I have lots of little chunks of text that I use frequently (such as Census dates, templates for entering info from Certificates & Registers, the numbers & titles of oft-cited FHL films) stored in FreeClip and paste them into the relevant fields in Legacy as the need arises. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
