Re: [LegacyUG] need help in correcting notes printed out in book format
Thanks - Sorry Bob I didn't understand exactly what you were telling me to do. Cathy, I really appreciate the step-by-step! thanks Kathy On 2/14/07, Cathy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Kathy, Assuming you are are using the Sentence form for events (on Report Options - Format tab - Event Format) edit the Event Sentence Definition for the relevant events to include [CR] before the [notes]. If you want this list style with the carriage return, I think you have to use the Sentence style and re write the sentence to produce this same output. You can get samples for this if you add a non standard event and look at the Sentence Definition eg: for all fields filled: [EventName]: [Desc], [Date], [Place].[Sources] [Notes] which you would edit to [EventName]: [Desc], [Date], [Place].[Sources] [CR][Notes] Re extra blank lines. Check the General Note and see whether there are empty paragraphs at the bottom. If you can place the cursor lower than the last word, you have empty paragraphs - so delete until you can't do that. Another possibility if it is happening for everybody's General Notes is in the Report Options - Page Layout tab - Customise Report Spacing button. BTW - if you want the General Notes to start on the line below the heading, edit the relevant Wording Tab for the report to add [CR] at the end of the heading.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy and Vista memory usage
Mark, I haven't yet installed Vista so have not studied its construction but your suggestion does sound a little dangerous. Firstly you say replace, would it not be safer to rename the Vista file and then copy WinHlp32.exe into the same folder. I also wonder if programs which are designed for Vista use would then display their help files since the file they use would no longer be present? I can envisage one having to continually switch the names of the (now) two Windows help files to accomodate the program in use.

Re: [LegacyUG] Filling in the gaps in RINs
Richard, It does work as Cathy described.

Renaming is exactly what I did so that I can easily put this back. I haven't noticed any problems but so far there aren't many programs out there designed specifically for Vista.

Re: [LegacyUG] LDS Sources
Jenny, Have you noticed that you can automatically update the individual and family from the LDS Screen? Doing so will automatically put the details into your Sources under the IGI Master List (which it will create if you don't have it at present).

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy - What is it for?
You people are too funny for words. As a new user I do agree that Legacy is great for genealogy. I, personally, think of the RINs as a something the program needs to keep track of for its own sanity, and use my own ID number for my ancestors. And the only time I seem to ask for help from the technical section is when I can't get something to work for my genealogy - not other stuff. As far as TV, hey, there is the HIstory Channel. And right now our local PBS station is re-running Ken Burns Civil War series. Don't forget - genealogy is history and history is genealogy. Good luck hunting those elusive ancestors to you all.

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy - What is it for?
Ron I smiled when I read your email and Dick's. I go back a ways too---1982, Family Roots, Apple IIc. Before that it was exclusively stubby pencil and paper. The 1982 days saw the barest of bones for a computer genealogy program---but, oh my, it was SO much better than that ole stubby pencil. I remember my grandmother complaining of the first automobiles--who needed radios and windshield wipers? What would she would think of today's cars with DVD screens and voice navigation systems. And electric starters!! Why that ole handcrank worked just fine. Those days do have an air of romantic charm.

Re: [LegacyUG] Ancestor Book Report problem
No, in my case, each section of the book I'm publishing should be for Fisher A. Deming. I should have 'The Pedigree of Fisher A. Deming' (I don't have the problem you're seeing as my pedigree is only one page), 'The Ancestors of Fisher A. Deming' and 'The Descendants of Fisher A. Deming. But for some reason, my ancestor report, though all the proper data is included, it is being titled The Ancestors of Rufus Presley, while Rufus Presley isn't associated with this report in any way. He was my default individual, where the program opened every time I launched it, but I have since changed that to be Fisher Deming, yet the report still gets titled with Rufus' name every time I generate it. The ancestor report generates fine if I do it by itself, it only gets mis-titled when I generate it as a part of a book in the Publishing Center.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy - What is it for?

Rufus isn't in Fisher's tree at all, that's why I'm confused. I've re-created the ancestor report over and over with no luck.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy - What is it for?
I agree too. However for me that (along with your includes) would include: a) web page generation (needs some improvement). b) single event attached to multiple individuals. c) separate the program files from the user files. i.e. put the program in Program Files and put the user files in My Documents. Of course I'm sure there are any number of Legacy users that would love to see things like photo manipulation, word processing capabilities and indeed other cool features included. These options are not important to me now but as the genealogy programs evolve they will inevitably have all these and other capabilities. A few years from now when they're talking about adding web crawlers to run in the background to search for all information from library, government, or any other linked info (and all databases will be linked) on anyone in your family and also checks for 100% surety and auto updates your file and generates new updated reports and web pages with advanced word processor formatting while you sleep. Well, how did they manage to do research manually back on 07? It must have been so tedious. I can't imagine spending hours and hours every week searching for family data. I think I'll just go back to sleep and see what my personal genealogist has found for me when I wake up. And if Legacy doesn't add these features someone else will! And that's how companies lose the edge. So, I don't think it's time for the Legacy folks to get rid of all the programmers in the new features development area. I'm looking forward to v7.0. Every once in a while I think about switching to another genealogy program. I'm very particular about fully investigating a programs capabilities before I buy and so far I haven't found anything that works better for me than Legacy. I've tried PAF and FTM and neither one is up to Legacy's capabilities. TMG has the witness feature but as far as I can tell their web page generation isn't as good as Legacy's. I hate to sound like a Legacy commercial but it really is a great program even if they keep adding all those dreaded advanced capabilities. ok, I guess I'm done rambling. -b On 2/15/07, malkajef [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I too support Legacy remaining a pure genealogy program.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy - What is it for?
a) web page generation (needs some improvement). Agree, but I haven't found any family history program that gets it right (which is why I'm writing my own) b) single event attached to multiple individuals. Yes - one of the features I miss from my time using TMG c) separate the program files from the user files. i.e. put the program in Program Files and put the user files in My Documents. You can keep your data files anywhere or are you refering to the configuration files which I think currently need to be in the program directory. Legacy should read its settings from the current users documents and settings directory or the the registry.

Re: [LegacyUG] Ancestor Book Report problem
Ok, I ran the check/repair and the set relationships (for both Rufus and Fisher), but had no luck. However, I did manage to fix it I ran the ancestor book as it's own report from scratch, set everything the way I wanted it, previewed it and saved it. Then I re-opened my book under the Publishing center, deleted the Ancestor book report, saved the book and closedLegacy (just to be sure). Lastly, I re-launched Legacy, loaded my book in the publishing center, re-added the ancestor book report, edited it to load my previously saved and working stand-alone ancestor book report and previewed the whole thing. THIS time it the correct title showed up on all reports within the book. A very round-about road to get there, but everything looks good now with no errant names.

Re: [LegacyUG] feeling really stupid-requesting offlist help
Elizabeth, I feel just like you do. I've brought a big datatbase into Legacy from another program and while it appeared to come over without too many glitches, I'm now finding strange couplings of sources and people who have absolutely no reason to have had that source coupled with them. Also, trying to figure out how to insert sources and events and all their associated windows have about driven me to the wall. The book has definintely NOT been of use but I did find the first set of CDs (borrowed from a friend) cleared up some of the problems with how to insert information into Sources and Events. I finally managed to get one Census looking the way that I wanted it and made my own cheat sheet so that I could redo all of the Census information the same way now and in the future. I'm still playing with the way I've entered them. Tonight I'd like to see what happens if I enter only the words US Federal Census for the Master Source List Name, then define which one it is in some other window, wondering if that would cut down on the number of entries in the Master Source List without causing problems elsewhere.

Pat, Re: Census - Master Source(s) If you look in the LUG archives (see Legacy Messages below) you will find many, many references to ways of recording these. Which more or less break down into 2 camps; those, like me, who have only one source censuses and those who break them down into local areas/offices/individuals/year/etc. I cannot speak for census other than the UK but I have no problem with using the one master source called census with the year in the details and any comments in the notes.

Re: [LegacyUG] problems with searching in the Index Views
Hi Pat, If your User IDs are the same as the RINs it sounds as if you used the option to write the RINs to the User IDs. This only occurs for those people in the database at the time. Perhaps you have added this person since. If your User IDs are equivalent to RINs why use them except as a backup in case you do something that changes a RIN or two. Options Customise is the place to go to display RINs on some names - but not to have columns for RIN and UserID in the Index View. You have to go to Index View and use the Options button on that page to customise the columns.
