That's nothing to do with entering notes in Legacy. It refers to which program will open when you want to access an attached word processor document file. When you attach a picture (to an Event or Source, for example) Legacy has an internal viewer which allows you to see the picture and gives you limited editing ability. If you attach a document file you cannot view it within Legacy but must use a suitable external program. For example, if you attach a PDF when you double-click on its icon it will probably open in Adobe Acrobat. If you have attached a DOC file it will open in Microsoft Word if that is your default Word Processor. If Word is your default but you want Legacy to open a different WP program, you enter the path to that program under Alternate Word Processor. -- 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).
