reply to her) by emailing her how to make a CD with a Legacy file to be
shared with others ?

If your mail is not going to the message board first make sure you are
sending the mail in plain text format.  This message you sent to me is in
HTML format.   The LUG computer automatically ignores HTML email due to its
susceptability to computer viruses.
To check which format it is in, click on the Format button at the top of
your message to be sent.   3/4ths of the way doen that menu you will see
Plain Text.  Select it.

If this is not the problem make sure you are sending email under the address
you subscribed to the list with.  The LUG List ignores unrecognized email
addresses.


In order for peple to view the CD they need Legacy.  They can download the
freeversion of Legacy.  If they already have it and can't open the file I am
not sure what is the problem. Your question would best be answered by Ken or
Sherry at Millennia. I also remember this being discussed before.  You can
search the LUG archives at

Also, make sure you put it on a CD-R and not a CD-RW.  A CD-R disk is much
more reliable than a CD-RW.  The CD-RW may not always be readable on a drive
other than the one it was created on.


Also for them to see the pictures in your  Legacy File you have to copy the
pictures on the CD and even then they may not see them from within the file
unless the pictures are in the same folder that your file refers to.
Pictures used in Legacy are not part of the file.  The Legacy file merely
cotains a shortcut to the location of the picture.
