I think the disconnect is that while the note fields are stored as Memo fields in the database which are plain text only, the Notes windows accessed from the Individual Information windows are defined as Rich Text Format. When you paste there, it accepts both text and graphics, but when the info actually gets saved to the database the graphics just get stripped. The data windows for the Note Tab on the Name Index are not defined as rich text. Try pasting your OneNotes there and hopefully they will get converted to plain text (unless the paste just gets blocked/ignored). This disconnect in display vs storage modes also accounts for why you can create bold/italic/underline/tabbed info in the one case, but it is displayed as the control characters in the other place.
I definitely consider this a bug. A given data field should be displayed, edited and stored in consistent manner. They should either fix the storage mode, or fix the data entry window. -----Original Message----- From: MikeFry [mailto:emjay...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, March 24, 2014 9:56 AM To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Issue with text copied from Onenote 2013 to Legacy On 24 Mar 2014 15:59, Alan Pereira wrote: > Mike, I know the field type for Notes is Memo, which will allow a combination > of text and numbers but that should not allow for storing an Image. That's an Access database field type, not a Windows Clipboard data type. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg (g) 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).
