Re: [LegacyUG] Fix this source! ??

Pat,

I am having to go off memory here, but it is pretty obvious when you see it - 
if that is not an oxymoron!

Open the Source Master List and I think you will find that the first one is a 
blank, if so then delete it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy unable to lock file

2009-10-06 Thread Robert57P_Gmail
Pat,

How's your hard drive space?  It might be  having a problem creating some 
temporary work files on the drive due to lack of space.

I'd also look over the drive for any left-over temp files that didn't get 
deleted after the crash.  No, I'm not sure where to look - don't know where the 
PDF utility might put them.

First place I'd look would be:
  C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
  C:\Documents and Settings\\My Documents(where  is your log-in 
ID)
Note that these locations might vary depending on what version of WIndows you 
have.  Maybe a better method would be to use Microsoft's Disk cleanup utility.  
Under my XP, it is at:  
START, ALL PROGRAMS, ACCESSORIES, SYSTEM TOOLS, Disk Cleanup
If it isn't there, you may need to install it.  When it asks what you want to 
remove, you would want to check at least:
  Temporary Internet Files
  Temporary Files  (this should catch both of the above directories)
Note that there are some 3rd party utilities available that do the same thing - 
but their names escape me at the moment.

You also may want to run a memory test utility to see if your memory has gone 
bad, but I suspect a full harddrive.

Good luck,
Bob

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy unable to lock file

2009-10-06 Thread CE Wood
I had the same problem with a long PDF, and found somewhere, whether on the
Legacy site or somewhere not obvious in Help, that Legacy cannot create long
PDFs.  Probably because of their very outdated PDF version (see recent
thread on that).  You get error messages and Legacy crashes.  No fix
available, and since the PDF function is low on their priority list, as the
recent thread concluded, not likely to use a current version of PDF, so long
PDFs are not possible from within Legacy.

Some on this list suggested buying and installing you own PDF creator.

Sigh.

I'm right in thinking that neither the location report (which we have
just discussed under another heading), nor a fan chart can be included
in the publishing center?
I find a fan chart valuable as it is by far the most compact way to
include all direct line ancestors on a single page, isn't it?
Is there as problem with it that I haven't noticed

Re: [LegacyUG] Census information

2009-10-06 Thread Jim Walton
I guess my problem stems from my history with computers. I grew up in the
days that if you did something on a computer more than twice, you write a
program to automate the task. (This was back in the 70s when most people
still didn't believe such a thing as a personal computer was very useful.)

When I look at a list of sources, I would much rather see three or four
sources that are easy to locate and then add the state, county, and city
information in the detail record. I see the census as a single source with a
series of volumes, one for each state. Each volume would have a number of
chapters, one for each county.

Guess I'm a lumper, but that seems much more practical to me. Just one
man's opinion...

Re: [LegacyUG] No report indices in text format, other bugs in reports

2009-10-06 Thread Jim Walton
It seems to be designed that way. If you go through each of the reports you
will see what printing options are available on the right, under the image
of the printer. Family  and descendant will do text, html, and pdf. Pedigree
will only do pdf. Not sure why they aren't available in rtf because it is
certainly capable of doing it. My plan is to do all my writing in Word, and
importing a pdf of group sheets, etc. as images into the document. I'm just
disappointed that I can't create an rtf of the source report so that I could
then create a bibliography and reference that in my text.

Agreed, and I'm having an issue right now with some state documents that
contain many volumes, but every document has a separate title. Fortunately
only a handfull of records are affected, but it looks like I'm going to have
to split in this case and make every volume a separate source. So, I guess
it works both ways.

I'm not clear on what you are trying to do, but a MHT file is not a
GEDCOM file. It contains markup text for browsers. If you know what to
do, open the file in a text editor and remove the markup languages,
then save it as a plain text file with the .ged suffix.

You will then have to import the new Gedcom file into Legacy. Legacy
does not open Gedcom files.

 Hi Listers

 I have a problem.
 I have been sent a gedcom file but it has an extension mht and will not
 open into my Legacy programme.
 I have made another file and inserted a ged at the end instead but still
 nothing.
 I have been assured it is a gedcom file and have been in behind the scenes
 and it certainly looks as if it is as it starts with the O head and all
 that, but I do not have a clue therefore why I cannot get it to open.
 Has anyone any suggestions or has come upon this before?
 Thankyou
 Margaret
