RE: [LegacyUG] [Legacy] Emailing info
Hi Ellen, I find the best way to e-mail Legacy reports is to print the desired report as a PDF file, saving it to disk, and then attaching the generated PDF file to my outgoing email.

Re: [LegacyUG] [Legacy] Emailing info
This may seem elementary to the more techie people, but how do I email a report, not the entire family file, to someone? If the recipient has a computer, it is easy to install Legacy free, and it is also easy to extract a GEDCOM of most any part of the file. A GEDCOM can be attached to an EMail, then just loaded into the other Legacy program. I find that the ease of moving around a program, and changing or adding information by computer, make that the preferred method by far.

If you're going from Legacy to Legacy, why run the risk of possibly losing information by using a GEDCOM? Why not simply make a backup and send the backup? -- Best regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg.

RE: [LegacyUG] [Legacy] Emailing info
When creating reports, you have options of which format to create them in. Not all formats are available for all reports. Not all formats include everything you can see in Preview. Choose one of the emailable options: Text file, HTML File, Rich Text File, PDF File. Click Create. In the Create Report window that opens, choose where you want the file to be saved and insert a name for your file. Click Save. The file will be created. The Preview screen will open along with a message asking if you want to view the file you have created. Click Yes. Then check that your file has what you want. All the files can be attached to an email.

They can be in most formats eg. .txt, .jpg, .rth, .pdf etc.. If they are very big say over 2MB they may be too big for your email client, again see it's help file for the maximum size, if so there are other ways of doing it.

Re: [LegacyUG] [Legacy] Emailing info
Probably the best option would be to create a PDF file as almost everyone has the capability to read that format. If they don't, the reader can be downloaded free.
