Options Customize Launch says - default for Word Processor and is blank. Sounds correct. No, I select the correct file in Word and the wrong one appears in legacy - doesn't it sound like that old first file is in a clipboard? It says when I del it in Legacy that it will still be available for other programs. THAT is what I want to get rid of. But I don't know why it isn't replaced with the new file?? Bedtime here too, Ron - for me. More tomorrow. Betty, It is Options>Customise>Launch, make sure that it has the path and file for your WORD exe program. Your procedure is absolutely correct, but I would correct one thing. You say that the ‘old unedited file’ is being shown – do mean it is opening in WORD? You previously said that you had deleted this file, which I took to mean that you had deleted it from your PC. If it is still coming up you clearly haven’t, and it is still in the same location on your PC. So did you mean that you had just removed it from Legacy? I am going to suggest that you run File>File Maintenance>Check/Repair. I am not too optimistic about this, but it is worth trying. If it doesn’t work please come back to us, as in the meantime I will have a look to see if there is a usr file which you can delete!

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).
