Just my two cents!

 

If I wanted to do this I would do the files in what ever format I wanted building bookmarks back and forth? Where ever,  what ever I thought fit my purpose. Then convert  these files to a  PDF format  and write to the CD as I want, This way it can be searched  in many ways it could also have a index if I wanted and any amount of images that I might want?  I would not convert to HTML because it would be slow and make all my files bigger.

Hi Dave & List,

This is about the same thing that I'm planning on doing.  I'd love to link from the Legacy Generated individual record to a WORD file or EXCEL file rather than go through the two step process of creating two home/index pages.  I was going to convert my WORD & EXCEL files to HTML so anybody with a browser could read them from the CD.  Some of these WORD files are quite large and I'd hate to paste them into LEGACY note files.

My main motivation in this endeavor is to avoid printing a book but still be able to share with those interested.  A second "motivator" would be "preservation of data" for posterity (how ever many months this might be ;-)

Anybody else have any thoughts?

For Ila East:

I have been working on that same problem for the past two weeks.  I'm trying to put some life histories on a CD along with the Legacy generated pedigree pages.My best solution so far is to create my own Start Page with links to the histories and add a link from the Legacy Index Page to my Start Page.  This two step process is not ideal but it beats modifying the links on some 4000  pedigree pages.  I, too, would like to see a better solution to the problem.
