RE: [LegacyUG] master source text prints only once--more
Before you try to duplicate, check out my "corrected" description. I am running the Ancestor Book report.. not webpages. The URL is NOT in the repository (though I have had second thoughts about how I set this up in the first place...). This is a SW source: Cemetery records > Grave markers,etc. > Online images.

RE: [LegacyUG] the word 'someone' stuck in sentence--unstuck!
Nope, the Wording Options for the marriage in question look fine. No "someone" on that screen. Spooky, though: I re-ran the report just to double-check, and voila! the "someone" is gone!! Sometime this evening, I added a census event to the marriage. Maybe that was the "trigger" necessary to update the wording options...? Up until that point, I didn't actually have any DATA entered for the marriage... I just knew that they were husband & wife. Maybe THAT's the key! Looking at the marriage window itself, you couldn't tell they were married??

RE: [LegacyUG] the word 'someone' stuck in sentence
First, where it comes from? See Options > Customise > View > Edit default marriage wording. If there is a marriage but the spouse is unknown you get the "someone" put in the spouse position in the reports. This "someone" should disappear when a spouse is added but it sometimes doesn't. In this case open the marriage that includes the "someone" person and go to the tab for "Wording Options". You will probably see "married someone" in the box in the middle of the screen. Just delete the word "someone" and save.

If they ever get this to work correctly, it would be nice to have "op. cit" as well as "ibid."

RE: [LegacyUG] the word 'someone' stuck in sentence
Paula: I believe this is a bug. There was a thread on the topic a few months ago with a subject something like "Mary married Someone." It seems that once the "someone" is triggered, adding a name to the field doesn't turn it off but only adds it to the name in the field so you get "John married someone Mary." I don't recall whether this was ever reported. I wonder if some sequence of unlinking and reattaching the parents would clear the "someone."

Re: [LegacyUG] master source text prints only once
Ron and Lester, Isn't 'ibid' meant to be used when the footnote immediately above (in the list of footnotes) is the one that is being cited again? In Legacy reports, we don't have control over the sequence of footnotes. Other citations might appear inbetween the first and subsequent citation of a particular master source, depending on the report and the data populated. How would the reader know to which previous footnote the 'ibid' citation refers? Furthermore, what is the difference between printing 'ibid' in a footnote, using a new footnote number, and simply re-using the old footnote number in the report? It appears that Legacy does the latter in some cases, presumably when the subsequent citation is absolutely identical in every way to the first citation. Another problem with bulk-editing "ibid" into override fields is that subsequent citations of a master source are meant to allow for certain differences in the source details. This is poorly implemented and needs fixing, but the concept is still valid for abbreviating some of the information in the citation, while printing key differences (like a page number of a book, or the name on a tombstone). The concept is similar to printing "Ibid., p.33", if we could use ibid at all. One would need to manually craft the override for each citation, in order to ensure that the right data appears. Paula, I see what you mean with the "include on reports" "first time" or "each time". I can't think of what else that could mean other than for initial and subsequent citations of the master source. However, the feature does exist for basic sources too, which don't (to my knowledge) otherwise have the concept of subsequent citations. Maybe there is another meaning. The on-line Help does not address it. If there is no other interpretation, then I agree that this is a bug.

[LegacyUG] the word 'someone' stuck in sentence
Okay, this is for all you mystery lovers out there. I first entered a couple based on the child's census listing, and here's how it looked (basically) in the Ancestor Book: 10.

Koyle was born in Ireland. Subsequently, I found a census listing for them, so I entered their first names, and here's how it looks now: 10. William KOYLE was born in 1835 in Ireland. ... William married someone Mary. Mary was born in 1841 in Maryland. ... 11. Mary was born in 1841 in Maryland. ... Mary married someone William KOYLE. William was born in 1835 in Ireland. I have never noticed this word "someone" in the report before, but that doesn't mean it hasn't always worked that way. What triggers using the word "someone" ?

Paula,
Are you looking at them in a report or webpages? The output is not necessarily
the same with particular respect to the repository. If you let me know which
and the form (ancestors etc.) I'll have a look.
Is the URL in the Master Source or the Repository?

RE: [LegacyUG] master source text prints only once--more
At the risk of beating a dead horse...
What I'm seeing as the second printed citation in my end notes is NOT what is
shown as the subsequent citation. This source with identical detail is cited
on 4 individuals for birth & death data.
Here's the first (and desired only) citation printed:
Illinois Ancestors Tombstone Project, digital images
(www.illinoisancestors.org/cemphotos ), Ryburn grave marker; Stewart Cemetery,
McLean Co.
Here's the second (and undesired) citation printed:
Illinois Ancestors Tombstone Project, digital images
(www.illinoisancestors.org/cemphotos ), Ryburn grave marker.
And here's what the subsequent citation is supposed to look like:
Illinois Ancestors Tombstone Project
As you can see, more than just the master source "Text" field is still being
printed on the second citation. According to the subsequent citation example,
everything but the title should be dropped off. So, I don't think the problem
as I've stated it is due to the subsequent citation logice. Do you?
("Ryburn grave marker" is what I've entered on the detail---I don't know what
the system thinks should show from the detail on "subsequent citations")
And while I'm thinking about it... Is it normal for the source master "Text"
to print AFTER the detail? (just asking)
Thanks,
--Paula

As a retired programmer, I gotta love your spirit in finding that solution!

RE: [LegacyUG] master source text prints only once
Aha! That's what happened to "Ibid." In my tidying up, I had been looking at a report I printed a couple years ago (yikes!) and saw the "Ibid." citation there. On the other hand, as far as I can tell, if the master source and detail citation match up perfectly, when you're printing END NOTES, the citation will only print once anyway. What's happening to me, that I found unexpected is that the citation is printing twice once with the master source "Text" field information and once without it. So, I guess it is nothing I'm doing, is it? Is there a place, maybe in Customize? where I can turn on/off this "subsequent citation" thing? Maybe I should check my source printing options again. Thanks for your time. --Paula --- On Thu, 6/11/09, ronald ferguson wrote: > From: ronald ferguson > Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] master source text prints only once > To: legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com > Date: Thursday, June 11, 2009, 1:48 AM > > Paula, > > The wording "appear each time" no doubt could be improved > but it works the way I described. > > Personally, I prefer the abreviated version for subsequent > entries as I hate to see the same thing printed over and > over again.

RE: [LegacyUG] Portable Legacy & MojoPac
Gayle >From your MojoPac virtual desktop click on 'Start' (bottom left), then 'All Programs'. You should find the Legacy7Setup file, double click to install to your USB Drive (much slower than normal so give it time). When installed you will find the shortcut appears on your MojoPac desktop. That's what I did and it worked for me. Now I have to transfer my customised settings from the Legacy version on my 'C' drive. Can anyone tell me where these settings are saved?

Yes. I don't use V7 or SW so I can't duplicate your problem. But aren't the backed up images just stored in a .zip file?
