Re: [LegacyUG] Assigned Sources
Hi Denise, If you have attached a source to the wrong event, you can copy it to the Source Clipboard and then paste it wherever appropriate. Then delete the wrong entry. On the Assigned Sources window, you'll find one of the icons is Copy Source to Clipboard. (lower left of this screen) This copies both the Master Source and the Source Detail to the Clipboard. You can then put the cursor next to the correct field and click the single blue line of the Source Clipboard to assign the Source on the Clipboard to that field. When you have more than one source for an event, you may wish to reorder them. That's what the black arrows are for.

Re: [LegacyUG] Can not search IGI on www.familysearch.org
I doubt if you are doing anything wrong Mary. You could have a look at Search Options and check that the search options are what you would like. Like all searches it is a matter of compromise, eg. should one only have an approximate birthdate then searching that date +/- 5 years is unlikely to find a marriage. On the other hand taking a midpoint between the two likely dates might well produce far too many results. Like you obviously do, I tend to check directly if I do not find what I am looking for at first. That said, I find it a most useful tool. For others who use this tool I would also suggest that having found a possibility one looks at the actual file (click the @ button) and check for family and pedigree. I have often found that a full family can be hidden behind one of those buttons!

Re: [LegacyUG] including a table in Notes; OR attaching a file
If you are building web pages, you can use html code in any notes field as long as you replace the and with « and ». The text will be a mess in your printed reports, of course. Until Legacy enhances the format options, any work around will be hit or miss, dependent of type face, font size, resolution, etc. -- what looks great on your machine may look like a jumble on mine.

RE: [LegacyUG] including a table in Notes; OR attaching a file
The Notes sections are really TXT rather than fully format-able word processing, but there are two ways I can think of to get what you want. One is to print and scan the excel table as a picture. The other - which I have done - is to save it or any other small document as a PDF and then use the snapshot feature in Acrobat Reader to make a picture of the part of the document you want. The latter requires a PDF making software, I use DocuCom PDF Direct by Zeon which is inexpensive, simple and works well with MS Office software (don't know about how it works with other things, but it's one of many such products). Obviously, only a small chart will work well in reports as a picture, and the PDF picture is limited to one page or less.

Re: [LegacyUG] including a table in Notes; OR attaching a file
Hello, Jane I tried HTML, but it did not work. I thought of using HTML because there is a buttom labeled Strip HTML. If you can strip if, then it should be possible to have it. As for the Notes formatting, you are allowed boldface and underline (that I can remember), and these are part of rich text files, which normaly support tables. That's why I was expecting to be able to past a table (and keep it). It is interesting to note that the table is properly pasted. It only goes away after closing and opening the record. Maybe a bug.

RE: [LegacyUG] Research Guidance component of Legacy.
Thanks, Geoff, Thanks for your swift reply. That's helpful. However, the source I found listed a daughter, her marriage and children, and the Edit button, as discussed in the article, gave me access only to the Edit Screen for the subject, not to any other info about him. Pat Pat, You might view the article at http://legacynews.typepad.com/legacy_news/2006/08/research_guidan.html. Brett had a similar question.

I've been attempting to use the Legacy Research Guidance tool. So I'm investigating Ancestor X1. I've used Legacy Research Guidance to (Step 1) create a timeline for him and (Step 2) Preliminary Survey-- linked databases-- then done a search on him on the ,e.g., LDS FamilySearch site. And that database has some files and I want to compare some of THEIR info with the data I've already entered into Legacy. But I can't find a way to view any of MY data (except for the timeline I've created for the particular individual) OR to add any notes!?! I tried to open Legacy a 2nd time so I could have the data file available but was unable to do so. Can anybody tell me how to do this? Of course I could export all my info to Family TreeMaker and use that but that's a nuisance and not very practical -- for example, if I want to take notes on anything I find -- well I guess I'd just have to use an independent Word processor to have the info readily available. So -- is there a way to switch back and forth between Research Guidance screens and my Legacy data?? Or is it possible to open Legacy a 2nd time -- does that make sense?

Re: [LegacyUG] including a table in Notes; OR attaching a file
Hi Carlos, I doubt if it is a bug. When I first used Legacy, like yourself, I tried to embed various files with different extension to the Notes but apart from text files they would not stick. I think it is just the nature of the beast. When I now have a non text format I use Paperless Printer and convert it to a jpg and attach it as a picture. This has the advantage of it showing up in the Source Panel at the foot of the Assigned Sources Screen.

I thought of using HTML because there is a buttom labeled Strip HTML. If you can strip if, then it should be possible to have it. As for the Notes formatting, you are allowed boldface and underline (that I can remember), and these are part of rich text files, which normaly support tables. That's why I was expecting to be able to past a table (and keep it). It is interesting to note that the table is properly pasted. It only goes away after closing and opening the record. Maybe a bug.

[LegacyUG] Printing Timelines from Legacy
Hi LUGgies! I've created a new timeline with events from the history of Colonial America. Under the CHRONOLOGY tab, I can "merge" a family member's name withmy newly createdtimeline. It's great to see how old an ancestor was at the time of various historical events. What an absolutely excellent feature! Thanks much Legacy Programmers! My question: Can I print my timeline without being "merged" or "attached"to an individual? I would like to see my timeline printed as a "stand alone" document. Is that possible within Legacy? With the options that are offered, it doesn't appear so. I would hate to manually retype my timeline again. Thanks for your insight!

Re: [LegacyUG] Printing Timelines from Legacy
Richard,What a great idea!! I hope you can find a way to do what you are asking about.Also, would you be willing to share your timeline? If so I would love to get a copy via email so that I can do the same thing. One thing I have definitely learned during my genealogy journey is that I wish I would have payed more attention to history in school. I have really learned a lot about history doing all this and wish that schools would incorporate genealogy into history so that kids are more interested and involved.thanks in advance,Malynda in IndianaOn Sep 5, 2006, at 4:53 PM, Richard Heckman wrote: Hi LUGgies!

RE: [LegacyUG] Printing Timelines from Legacy
Hi Richard, They certainly look better when a life is put into context don't they? Yes you can. Firstly go to your Legacy folder, open the Timelines folder and then (I guess) English in which you will find your timeline. Open with Notepad (or any text editor) and save as a .csv file - change File Type to All Files. You will now need a spreadsheet program, I use open Office Calc but I expect Excel will work similarly. Open in that program. On opening I am asked for what the separator is. Legacy uses | so just enter that in the box (no commas and I don't about Excel at this stage) and there is the timeline ready for editing, printing etc. Ron Ferguson _ For Genealogy, Software and Social visit: http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/fergys/ *New Blogs: Transparency with The GIMP, Downloadable UK History Timeline * Includes the family tree for Alan J Grimshaw http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/fergys/Grimshaw/ __ From: Richard Heckman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyFamilyTree.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Printing Timelines from Legacy Date: Tue, 5 Sep 2006 16:53:36 -0400 Hi LUGgies!
