Gary,
You can see from the responses that we're not sure what you want to do.
If you want a list of all media linked in Legacy and who it's linked to,
then in Legacy go to View - Scrapbook choose your options and then click
Print Media File List and on that next screen make sure you at least
check "include description of what media is linked to"
If you want a list of everything you've scanned, then you need a
program/utility that will print a directory. It's awhile since I've used
one. In Windows 10 I find I can copy a list from File Explorer and paste
it into something after I've copied something else from my clipboard
extender program. I use Spartan from http://m8software.com/ but I'm sure
the free version would work as well. But that's only the filename +
path. So you'd probably want a proper utility. Karen's Directory Printer
was one of the best and worth trying - but I'm out of date.
One or both of those should help. With the print from the Scrapbook in
Legacy, you'll see you can just choose a tagged group. With thousands it
would probably be more helpful to print for particular family lines.
Note if you get inspired to change filenames, you permanently break the
link in Legacy. The only way to change filename and not break the link
is to use the Legacy Picture Centre to rename. That only works for image
formats.

Gary,
How are you wanting to use these scanned documents?
What format have you used for these scanned documents? Are they
scanned as a graphic or are they in PDF format or a combination of
formats?
Are you wanting to combine all of the documents pertaining to each
individual into a single file, with the first page being, for
instance, a printout something like the Legacy Individual Report or a
Family group sheet might provide? If so, would this be geared toward a
printed hard copy or something that could be shared electronically?
Congratulations on locating, scanning and linking this material to
individuals in your database. I like to save items like this, too.
Mary

*Subject:* [LegacyUG] Documents
I've been doing genealogy for over 35 years, having gathered a vast
number of documents - birth/death/marriage certificates and licenses,
obituaries, wills, probate info, newspaper articles etc - some
original, other's secondary.
I computerized back in the dark ages of personal computer technology
(early 70's) with an IBM PC Jr and a floppy disk, two if you could
afford it! Thus, NO availability of storing anything on the computer.
As technology advanced and scanners became available I scanned
everything I had collected to new computers with ample HD's as well as
adding new scanned information.
I was a late comer to LEGACY having used 3-4 other software products
that went out of business over the years forcing me to upgrade to
newer products. My last upgrade a few years back was to Legacy (v7.0)
and I love it having kept updates to the present V9.0.
My problem, question??
I have several thousand scanned documents stored on my HD that I have
linked to individuals in my Legacy database. Is there any way of
preparing an output document that would show the individual AND
any/all supporting documents gathered over decades of collecting? I'm
not inclined at this stage of life to even attempt transcribing this
supporting information in to any templates available in Legacy!
Suggestions are welcome.
