[LegacyUG] Paper sizes: Print Descendant Narrative successfully?
Hello everyone- Has any successfully pick a non-Letter sized sheet for the printer, and actually gotten a Descendant Narrative to print properly on this? I have been trying, to no avail so far, to print on the same size sheet that most computer manuals are printed on. Roughly seven inches wide and nine 1/4 inches top-to-bottom? Rather than make one massive book for Christmas as I did last year, I thought I would break it up into three books. Several people complained about the weight of the books last year. I tried saving to an RTF, and change the paper size in Word, but that royally messes up names indexes, chapter headings, location index, etc. Can anyone change the paper size successfully and print, keeping everything straight automatically? Thanks, Robert Legacy User Group guidelines can be found at: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp To find past messages, please go to our searchable archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ For online technical support, please visit http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe please visit: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp

The others contain the clipboards, focus groups etc you've set up. ie Useful but not vital.

[LegacyUG] Research Logs & the To Do List
The beginning training video talks about the importance of Research Logs, then goes on to talk about the To Do List. Does that mean that you can use the To Do List as a research log? Do any of you do that or do you use a Research Log outside of Legacy? Thanks, Bruce (I previously sent this but I'm not sure it got through.)

Re: [LegacyUG] Strange Happenings
Hi Jan, The "Mrs" must be in the file as either the Title Prefix OR in the Alt Name. Have you checked the data for those particular women? When you find where the "Mrs" is, you might check your original file to see whether it is also there. Another way of checking is to run the same report from your original Family File and see whether it is there for these women. The only way I could see it appearing is if in the original file you have "Mrs" for these women in either the Title Prefix for the main name or for an Alt name. If it's being swapped from the Alt Name to the Main Name, then there is a bug. Cheers, Cathy At 05:30 AM 26/10/2006, you wrote: I wonder if anyone else has had this happen? I just created a Focus Group to split off a section of my database so I could create a new Family File.

Created a GEDCOM using the Focus Group. Created an Ancestor Report for one of the granddaughters and noticed that some, not all, of the women have now become Mrs Mary SMITH or Mrs Jane BROWN instead of Mary SMITH and Jane BROWN. Anyone have any ideas as to why? Or ideas as to how I can clean it up without having to go through the whole file and make individual changes? Ive tried Check / Repair no change.

RE: [LegacyUG] Re: Update wont install
Margaret, A few users, especially those with slower connections, are reporting problems downloading the latest build. The update this time is really huge and with patience, it would continue installing. Go to our website at http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/DownloadUpdate.asp and in Step 3, select "Download Full Setup". After you've downloaded the file to your hard drive, run the setup file, which will install over the existing Legacy folder. Thanks for using Legacy.

RE: [LegacyUG] Questions on Installation and Copying Files
It sounds as if you just copied the Legacy program files, rather than installing the software again - that will never work and probably accounts for the error you got. By not installing the software, then Windows doesn't know the program exists and so doesn't have all the hooks in place to run it. If you install from the CD and then go to update the software from the web, you are effectively downloading a full copy of 6.0.0.110. So you might just as well download it from the web in the first place. The result will be the same and the time will be about the same as well. You do need all of the extra files (CB, TC etc). I can't remember in detail what they all are but they are part of your data. If you have Legacy backups (the zip files), MOST will all be on there and so you could just restore from the backup and everything will be ready for you. Some files (.his, .igi etc aren't put onto the backups, but they aren't critical). The other files you MAY want to copy over from the old machine are the "setup" files i.e. your customization of the system, reports etc - they are in the Legacy folder and have the extension ".usr" . If you don't copy them then you will need to use the Options/Customise pages to get everything as you want it, as well as set up how you had the reports. (probably best to rename the usr files after the installation, before you copy yours over, so you can always go back to them) If you've "saved" things like searches, report setups so you can load them, then these are all in your legacy data folder (with extensions like .rf0, .rs5, .wf0) and you might want to bring those over as well. But all these "extra" files are really just to avoid having to set everything up again.

RE: [LegacyUG] Questions on Installation and Copying Files
Kay, Following a reinstallation of Windows onto a new drive you will find that none of your programs work as they are no longer in the registry and all will need to be reinstalled, not just Legacy, and not just the updates. Presumably you have already given you old drive (now the slave) a new Drive Letter (eg "E" ). You haven't mentioned which file was corrupt so make sure that it is not going to cause problems again. It is not possible just to copy files across into a new folder on a new drive and get them to work. 1. If you don't have broadband then I would install from the CD and update (probably faster anyhow) onto your new C Drive. 2. When you have reinstalled you can then copy/drag your existing folders containing your settings and data across to the new default folders which Legacy has created and so overwrite them with your data. These include the files which you mention. Or you can simply (?) restore your backup family file and then redo your settings. Depending on how many you have changed this may (or may not) be easier. It's certainly safer. 3. When you have reinstalled all the programs and data from your old drive onto the new C Drive then reformat your old one to completely clean it out Ron Ferguson _ For Genealogy, Software and Social visit: http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/fergys/ *New Blogs: The Murder of Adam Mather; Legacy Searches* Includes the family tree for Alan J Grimshaw http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/fergys/Grimshaw/ __ From: "Kay Fordham" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com To: "Legacy User Group" Subject: [LegacyUG] Questions on Installation and Copying Files Date: Wed, 25 Oct 2006 16:23:02 -0700 Using Legacy 6.0.0.79 (20 January 2006) - Updating this week Background 1.
