Thanks Jenny and Bob, They’re .docx Re Tools, Customize Launch – not there in Legacy or Admin Tools for Windows. Is there another step between the two? I’ve use this same procedure to link a census page and a typed obit, no problem – difference is that I didn’t make any changes to them. Also closed Legacy and reopened to see if that made a diff. Procedure to link ‘File’: Click Pictures icon Click File (hdstn folder opens in Word, the last place I used) Click ‘Fred and Margret Workman hdstn.docx’ Click ‘Open’ in Word (to attach) Legacy Description pg opens Type ‘Headstone’ caption Hit OK – icon labeled Headstone is in the Pic Gallery Dbl click - didn’t close the .docx file, get ‘the hdstn file is in use, etc…’ uses the new and correct file name. Closed it Dbl click again – got the old, unedited file that has been deleted. Betty FL On 14/10/2011 22:24, Bob Rowe wrote: > Legacy wouldn't change the extension. Are they .doc or .docx?

Legacy has the facility to override the Windows defaults so the OP should go to Tools>Customise>Launch and see if Wordpad is selected as the default wordprocessor for Legacy and if so, change it to Word. -- 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).
