[LegacyUG] To-Do-List
I just added a to-do item to someone in my database and I put a reminder date on it. I looked on Legacy home page and it's not showing up. It there some kind of problem with the To-Do-Items list on Legacy Home Page. My last to-do item is dated11 Jun 2006. I'm not sure if I added anyone since then or not. Suggestions?

Re: [LegacyUG] PDFs and RTFs
If you look under the big printer icon, you will see various options - the default being screen (whence the print preview), but also text, html, rtf and pdf. That's the origin of the iffy rtf file; however if you select there pdf, you get a good rtf shown briefly before the pdf conversion is performed. I want either to interrupt that pdf creation process to obtain the good rtf, or to update the pdf creator.

Re: [LegacyUG] PDFs and RTFs
Couimet3 - , if you watch carefully what is happening, Legacy goes through two processes. First it creates a formatted text file that is much better than its RTF file, then it goes on to create the PDF. It would improve the reporting facillity considerably if the two processes could be separated. Pat, you can of course download the free Acrobat reader - but that doesn't help. We are talking about creating PDF files, not reading them Well, Sherry or Ken - can we interrupt the process?

Re: [LegacyUG] PDFs and RTFs
Alistair, I have tried to recreate this, but I don't seem to see what you see. I go to, for example, Descendant Book Report. On the right, I select PDF file. Now I click on the icon Create. I type in a filename (test) and click Save. After two seconds where not much is happening (except page numbers are counting up underneath the printer image on the right), the Preview screen pops up and so does a dialog box that states The ...test.pdf file has been created. Would you like to view the PDF file? I don't see a temporary RTF anywhere in this process. Is my computer so fast, that it doesn't show? Do you have an old computer?

Alastair, I just ran a Descendant Narrative Report for Asa Clark Brown in the Sample File on a Pentium 150 with 96 MB of Memory. It took close to three minutes to generate the report for the preview and at no time did I see any sign that there was some kind of intermediate file on the screen. It went directly from the sheet counter display in the printer on the report set up screen to the display of the preview.

RE: [LegacyUG] Pocket PCs aka PDA
Jane, Correct, ActiveSync must first be installed in order to do a Pocket Genealogist install. ActiveSync is also involved when it comes to database synchronization. You'll want the Advanced version of Pocket Genealogist because it will read Legacy databases directly, plus allow you to make changes on the device and update the changes directly back into Legacy as well. You never need to use GEDCOM. The latest Version of Pocket Genealogist also added GPS support. (Of course you need a GPS device in order to use it) Kevin R.

RE: [LegacyUG] Pocket PCs aka PDA
I use Pocket Genealogist Advanced and like it. It isnt as easy to work in as Legacy on a laptop or desktop simply because of the screen size. But its a good way to take all of your info with you. And with two way syncing you can add info that is synced with Legacy when you return home. I dont use it a lot but am glad to have it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Pocket PCs aka PDA
Hi Jane I have a Dell and love it. Put Pocket Genealogist on it and can sync back and forth at will. Take it to Library etc and type my notes on it then sync to main data file. Could not live without it now. ShirleyJane Fabiano-Turner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:I just bought a Dell Axim V5 Pocket PC. I would like to get some genealogy software to put on it. Is there anyone out there that has Pocket Genealogist or GedStar Pro? Do you like it? Do you use it? From what I could tell, GedStar Pro is for Palm only.

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering children when unknown which of the 2 spouses are the parent
Note that you are not restricted to just the entries on the list. You can click on Add and add unproven if you want that wording.

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering children when unknown which of the 2 spouses are the parent
Hi Beth, Using the Child-Parent relationship, is a great idea. You can add other categories like Unproven to the default list. However, for major lines in my tree, I like to add something to the name so it's obvious on the Family View that the relationships aren't proven. If you don't want your addition to the name to print in reports, you can put it in privacy brackets. Cathy At 09:00 AM 12/08/2006, you wrote: Cathy, Thanks so much for the response. I have been mulling over how to best handle the situation and decided to enter challenged in the children relationship to mother and add a note regarding same. I would prefer a choice of unproven but that is not on the list, but I will know what it means. Great feature for children not proven per census records and wills. In my research I often have wills that designate the biological father of the children, but name the wife without given her relationship to the children. Thanks, Beth G.
