I have been requesting more (Polish) special characters for a number of years
and was very surprised and disappointed that they apparently are not added to
Legacy 8. Legacy say that it would require major changes in their technology. I
do not understand computer technology but since there are already some special
characters in their special characters map, I do not understand why adding more
to the map would be so difficult.
Legacy software is from America, an extremely multicultural nation where many
have ancestors from Eastern Europe.
Accuracy is vital in genealogy, so to publish my family tree, I would have to
save it as a word document, do a lot of search and replace, then publish it as
a book.
I very much like Legacy in other ways.

Yes, but the needed characters are not there. I wonder if there is a way to
expand or change the list from which the ribbon characters are chosen in Legacy.

Have you tried the "ribbon" for special characters as you enter data?

Then copy into Legacy. I haven't tried it but I assume that works.

I have a lot of Czech names and locations that require the use of special
characters, many of which are not available to choose for use within Legacy
v.8. When I try to use these characters from the Windows Character Map, they
display in a larger font than used in the various name, location, and notes
fields in v.8. Is that a way to get around this? Thanks!
