[LegacyUG] Legacy + Dropbox Help !

[carogene]

I had this working well up to a week ago, I'm not aware of having altered
anything, but it has not worked for a week with my Legacy data.
It has however transferred word documents from one computer to another.
Is there someone out there who can talk me through this please?
many thanks for any help you can give me.

[LegacyUG] Charting

[carogene]

Help please,

Have just had a try at printing a simple 4 gen chart and would like to make
the printing in the heading and in the body of the chart larger.
Have clicked everything I can find, then read the HELP files to no avail.
Is there a tutorial or CD for charting? I think  I need one !
Many thanks for any help.

Re: [LegacyUG] Digital Images of Census Pages

[carogene]

Many thanks JL, I think I can follow that!
At the moment I have a folder for each family, for census, docs, emails
etc.  Then another folder within My Pics for the photos of each family. It
look like I need to combine these and then link to Legacy not store within
the programme.
Thanks again.
Carolyn

Re: [LegacyUG] Digital Images of Census Pages

[carogene]

JL,

This sounds good to me, how about providing a simple step by step guide for
us to follow please.
Using "nana' steps for me please!
I have managed to link pictures using the picture centre process, and have
them stored in the Legacy pictures folder within my C drive.
So maybe its a similar process?
Cheers
Carolyn

Re: [LegacyUG] Putting Ancestry images into Legacy

[carogene]

I use the free programme called Irvanview to crop and print my census
images. That way when printing, you do not get all the nasty black edges. I
also use this programme together with the 'print screen' facility when
saving newspaper articles and printing out from the digital photos of
documents.
Its a very handy tool and free!

Re: [LegacyUG] Help for New User

[carogene]

I have just read in a Gene magazine, that someone else has set up a database
in Exel for her certificates, using the Birth = B1 Death = D1 system. That
way she can sort and find to her hearts content.  Great for those of us who
are compulsive list makers!

Re: [LegacyUG] Netbook choices

[carogene]

Replies to the list please, I am also interested in this one and I suspect
many others will be also.
I am looking for one that will hold Legacy and allow me to email while away
from home, so it needs to have the capacity for my address book as well.

Thanks
Carolyn

Re: [LegacyUG] Four generation tree with photos for grandkids

[carogene]

Many thanks to Lawrence and Kris, for your help, it is the tree within
Legacy that I was trying to find.
It is currently well hidden, so I am very grateful for the directions to it
Kris, as it is exactly what I was seeking.

Many thanks.
Carolyn

[LegacyUG] Four generation tree with photos for grandkids

[carogene]

I am looking for a template to use for producing a simple 4 gen tree, that
will include a photo of each person  for my young grandchildren. Ideally I
would like to use Legacy charting, but I cannot find a background that shows
an image of just a single large tree.
Has anyone else done this? I would welcome your tips please.
Many thanks
Carolyn
New Zealand.

Re: [LegacyUG] v7

[carogene]

Here in New Zealand the service is wonderful, I paid and ordered the book,
CD and download late Friday NZ time, woke up Saturday morning and there were
my password and instructions.
The instructions must have been very good as all went smoothly even though I
am blonde!
Many thanks to the lovely folks at Millenia for a great product, this is
also on behalf of the 6 other happy users that I 'sold' the programme to!
At the version 6 stage it was the Chronology report that got them hooked.
Cheers
Carolyn

[LegacyUG] Saving items from Newspapers to Legacy notes

[carogene]

I have read all the replies to both George's and my enquiries with great
interest, then had another play with the Paperspast website in NZ.
The answer for me seems to be as follows:
Once the selected item appears on the screen select 'view computer generated
text' then save the item as a text file.
I was able to copy and paste straight into notes and it stayed there!
Hope this helps someone else.
Carolyn

Re: [LegacyUG] Linking files to Legacy 6.0

[carogene]

I am also having this problem. I save items from old newspapers online by
using the print screen button then open and edit in Irfanview.
I have tried to copy and paste them into 'notes' for each person but it
doesn't work.
I guess there is a better way, hopefully someone out there will know.

[LegacyUG] How do I save and print a 2 page chart

[carogene]

Thanks to Jeremy and Gary, I can now save the two page test chart as a PDF
and get it to the USB.
But when I go to print, it will not spilt the chart into two pages, the PDF
saves as one large page with the print view just the middle section, not the
2 page version I had viewed in the charting programme.
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks
Carolyn

Re: [LegacyUG] Password for new charting program

[carogene]

Plea for help to all you 'Learned Legacy Users'
I just love the charting facility and want to share it with the wider
family.
Is there some way I can get a test 2 page  descendants tree  from my laptop
to my USB then to my husband's set up with printer?
My usual method is to use  the 'right click then send to' option which does
not work here.
Have tried every button I can see, but am bound to have missed the obvious
as I am blonde and over 60 !!
Many thanks.
Carolyn
