Hi, Tried option 1 (although not with paf, I'll try that), Export gedcom, import to new program, but so far they all seem to lose event detail in the process. Even though I have all export options on and all privacy off. Is there a program that can directly import the legacy file?
Notepad works but cutting and pasting all text for thousands of events is scary, my brain would freeze & I'll turn into a politician :) Regards Ian -----Original Message----- From: Virginia Dunham [mailto:geistdn...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, 25 June 2012 12:57 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy split screen view on 2 monitors Ian, I can only think of two options for you: 1) download a "freebie" genealogy program (such as PAF) and export the "bad" file to it...then you could run both Legacy and the freebie program next to one another. Maybe another member could suggest some other freebie programs to use. 2) or have a program such as Notepad opened and copy from the bad file...paste to Notepad...then cut and paste from there to your "good" file.
