Ron wrote The way I have done this is to go to the Home page and adjust the size of the chart so that I can see all the pages. My objective was to stop splitting a box or marriage over a page break and by using the options on the bar on the left it was reasonably easy to move the boxes around to avoid this and optimise the pages. I agree that to prevent boxes being split over page breaks is desirable. My problem is with cutting and pasting pages. As the margin is very narrow, the pasting area is very small. I cannot adjust this margin in Page Setup. If we could set up (adjustable) slightly wider margins this would be easier - or even better, an option to overlap the chart at page breaks as can be selected with FTM charts (at least the old version 10) Judy _ For Genealogy, Software and Social visit: http://www.fergys.co.uk New Blog: Open Legacy Family File with Open Office View the Grimshaw Family Tree at: http://www.fergys.co.uk/Grimshaw/ For The Fergusons of N.W.

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy Charting Pre-Release Edition Now Available For Free Download
Saying it's not a Legacy problem is only part of the story. I suspect what's happening is Legacy Charting is looking at all your disks for files, and is being told by Windows that a particular drive is available for searching, and when it tries this error is appearing*. If the developers can reproduce it they will be able to fix it in a future update, but in the meantime, I'd suggest looking at the following as an example of how you may be able to locate the source of the problem and stop it yourself http://www.consumingexperience.com/2007/11/windows-no-disk-exception-pro cessing.html taking particular notice of the bit that says leave drive C alone!

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy Charting Pre-Release Edition Now Available For Free Download
It is very rare for me to print out a chart. I quite often send someone information on one part of my tree that affects them. I do that as Individual Report in PDF format. I then will include a couple of charts to show some of this information in visual form. If there is a large blank area in one part then I might as well show some extra information. The children of a spouse by a previous spouse are of interest because they are step children and so will appear in the censuses. Showing the other spouse in the best way to display them. Some people are only interested in tracing their ancestry back to Adam and Eve. I like to see the whole picture and have often got very valuable information from people connected to distant branches of my family as well as being to help out others.

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy Charting Pre-Release Edition Now Available For Free Download
Geoff, Thanks for your reply, how I managed to completely zap the themes option I don't know, but I love the defaults and see I'm going to have a lot of fun setting up my own. Regarding the tiling I think I didn't explain myself properly. I only seem to have problems with the tall charts. I'm using one of my photos as a background. Centre with no stretching, centre and stretch and stretch to frame all work as expected. When I switch to tile the photo is repeated twice vertically, but with half of the photo disappearing off the frame horizontally. I suspect this is normal behaviour, and perhaps for the tall charts there needs to be resizing of the background so it will tile appropriately? It would be nice if this was an auto function of the program (of course!) Really, big congratulations to the whole dev. team, the more I play with it the more I like it, from ease of first use to the level of customisation possible with a simple execution. This really bodes well for the whole v7 package :) Claire -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Geoff Rasmussen Sent: mercredi 5 mars 2008 16:41 To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy Charting Pre-Release Edition Now Available For Free Download Claire, Regarding the tiling of background pictures - when you click on the Background button (on the Appearance tab), try the Stretch to Frame option in the Display options.

What I particularly like: The Office 2007 style. I'm sure there will be those that dislike it because it's a bit of a change, but having been using Office 2007 for several months I was very happy to see this style being used, it is, IMHO, much more intuitive than the 'standard' windows menus lists. The drag and drop options. It looks like this is very straight forward to use, especially with the generational and familial group options. I like how it auto-draws the drop lines, rather than some other programs where you have to specifically tell them to pick them up, or have to reposition them by hand. The selection of charts. I love the father and mother charts. I didn't see an all people in db chart, but I'm not sure what I'd do with it anyway. Looks like a pretty good selection to me. Unexpected behaviour/Niggles The background pictures don't tile as I would expect. When I have a slim chart up (for instance the father ancestor chart) the background I chose tiled vertically, but only the centre portion of the picture was visible. I would have expected the whole picture to be used and then it would be tiled vertically and horizontally as appropriate When starting the program new and with a new chart all the previous settings are kept, including the background picture. I would have expected them to reset. Leading on from that, the possibility to set templates would be really nice - set up different colours + background + info per family, or per chart. Items to display box: a select all/deselect all check box would be nice to quickly change the viewed information settings. Using the scroll wheel always zooms into the top left corner. I was hoping there might be a scroll into the selected person on the chart, or based on the mouse position. OK, perhaps I'm being greedy, because niggles apart there is a lot that I like about this software. Thanks Geoff for the chance to get the charting module ahead of schedule. I'm looking forward to hearing what the other list members' first impressions are!

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy Charting Pre-Release Edition Now Available For Free Download
Well that depends on why you are producing the chart and who the audience is for it. My mother was brought up only knowing her two brothers who were from her mother's previous marriage, and not her father after she was 4. If I produced a tree for her of her family showing everyone she is related to, even partially, then she can see everyone. If I use the technically correct genealogical charts then it would only show people whom she never even knew existed until my research (her father was married 3 times and had children with them all), and miss the two people she knew as her brothers. Flexibility and customisation allows people to decide what they want to see.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Charting Pre-Release Edition Now Available For Free Download
I trust this answer isn't 'off topic' but I don't think so, as Legacy does seem to be veering towards Windows default programs and it might be worth mentioning that not everyone LIKES Windows! I only discovered this icon was 'clickable' when my version of Word 97 finally died last summer and I bought Word 2007 - there seems no reason to me why it still can't say File somewhere. I am still finding Office 2007 far less easy than Word 97 was and have totally failed to manage mail merge with it at all. I just hope this 'picture rather than word explanation' doesn't take over completely as it might end up like those (to me) totally incomprehensible picture stories which are now used universally instead of written instructions - whether you've bought a food processor or a lawnmower! However, the new Charting program is just fantastic - I have previously used TreeDraw Legacy but this is so, so quick and already, looking at a standard top-down chart I see where I have gaps in information that I simply hadn't noticed before. Congratulations! Mike Fry wrote: Jenny M Benson wrote: John Magyari wrote Select the Icon in the upper left hand corner to the left of the words HOME, there you will see what you want. I expect most of us had not even realised that was a functioning icon. Unlike all the others, it doesn't have a pop-up to explain it's function. Perhaps this is something that the developers could think about adding.

The ultimate goal of creating a large chart is to print it and hang it up for all to see and enjoy. I disagree with that. The majority of charts that I produce are never printed out and just a visual representation of a particular part of the tree. I like to save in PDF format in as large a page format as I can manage then send to someone for them to view.

One feature that I have always thought would a good addition is, in a descendant tree, to be able select to add the parents of a spouse. Also to be able to add a previous/later marriage of a spouse with the children from that marriage.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Charting Pre-Release Edition Now Available For Free Download
Have just had a very quick look at this (15 minutes so far, but going back for more!), and I must say I like it. Some things I liked: 1. The general lay-out/look/feel of the screen, i.e., the MS Office 2007 style; 2. The ability, after creating a chart, to change the starting/current person dynamically, without having to create a new chart each time; 3. Also the ability to change the chart privacy options, chart type, Etc., Etc., in the same way. Some things I've noticed may need tweaking/improving: 1. When I ran a Y-DNA Descendants chart, for my grandfather, it included the adopted sons of my uncle, i.e., my cousins. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what this chart should do, but these people obviously don't share the same DNA as their adoptive father. When this charting option is built-in to V7, I assume the child-parent status will be picked up and not include these individuals in a Y-DNA chart. 2. I'd rather that you could zoom in an a particular individual/marriage/part of the chart, rather than always the top-left. As I play with it a bit more, I'm sure I'll come up with further things in both lists which i could comment on. If any of them haven't been raised here, I'll bring them to yoru attention. Thanks, Geoff, for bringing this out, it may keep some of us quiet while we wait for V7. BTW, your family looks great on the samples, what beautiful children! Regards, Dermot.

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy Charting Pre-Release Edition Now Available For Free Download
Mary, The way I have done this is to go to the Home page and adjust the size of the chart so that I can see all the pages. My objective was to stop splitting a box or marriage over a page break and by using the options on the bar on the left it was reasonably easy to move the boxes around to avoid this and optimise the pages. I have not found a Page Set-up as such but maybe this is what it means.

Geoff, I attended your presentation in Tucson a few days ago and when you displayed the descendants chart, the pictures were large with small descriptions below. When I use the default settings the pictures are on the left side and the description is on the left. Your help section says The *Picture Settings* tab is part of the main Ribbon of Legacy Charting. It only appears when you have a picture selected within your chart. I cannot get it to appear on the Ribbon. How do I select a picture within the chart?

G.C., Legacy Charting doesn't yet have the ability to lock in a specific page size, such as 11x17. Legacy Charting provides you with the page size in the lower right of the screen. I see that when you adjust the sizing of the chart that you can get it to size at 11x17 or 17x11. So it should work as you desire. There's not currently a way to suppress spouses, but we'll add that to the enhancement request list.

Claire, Regarding the tiling of background pictures - when you click on the Background button (on the Appearance tab), try the Stretch to Frame option in the Display options. This will stretch the image to the entire chart. Using the Themes button on the Appearance tab you can create/save templates. We'll try to enhance the zooming, I, too, would like to see what you describe. Thanks, Geoff Rasmussen Millennia Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.LegacyFamilyTree.com -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of CNurc Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2008 3:05 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy Charting Pre-Release Edition Now Available For Free Download I'm sure there will be some more considered reviews along from the old hands on this list, but after having a play with this program I think a big well done is deserved for the developers. What I particularly like: The Office 2007 style. I'm sure there will be those that dislike it because it's a bit of a change, but having been using Office 2007 for several months I was very happy to see this style being used, it is, IMHO, much more intuitive than the 'standard' windows menus lists. The drag and drop options. It looks like this is very straight forward to use, especially with the generational and familial group options. I like how it auto-draws the drop lines, rather than some other programs where you have to specifically tell them to pick them up, or have to reposition them by hand. The selection of charts. I love the father and mother charts. I didn't see an all people in db chart, but I'm not sure what I'd do with it anyway. Looks like a pretty good selection to me. Unexpected behaviour/Niggles The background pictures don't tile as I would expect. When I have a slim chart up (for instance the father ancestor chart) the background I chose tiled vertically, but only the centre portion of the picture was visible. I would have expected the whole picture to be used and then it would be tiled vertically and horizontally as appropriate When starting the program new and with a new chart all the previous settings are kept, including the background picture. I would have expected them to reset. Leading on from that, the possibility to set templates would be really nice - set up different colours + background + info per family, or per chart. Items to display box: a select all/deselect all check box would be nice to quickly change the viewed information settings. Using the scroll wheel always zooms into the top left corner. I was hoping there might be a scroll into the selected person on the chart, or based on the mouse position. OK, perhaps I'm being greedy, because niggles apart there is a lot that I like about this software. Thanks Geoff for the chance to get the charting module ahead of schedule. I'm looking forward to hearing what the other list members' first impressions are!

My intial thoughts: 1. I like the imitation of the latest Microsoft Office with the ribbon et all. 2. Very good ease of use 3. I like the ability to expand/collapse the tree based on marriages 4. I like the ability to add a colour shade for females and males separately 5. I like the ability to have different border styles etc too 6. like the ability to drag individuals, entire lines or just generations 7. Like the ease of adding/reducing generations 8. Like the picture options , though cropping would be nice too. 9. Text options are good too, again being picky, spell checking would be nice. 10 Navigation is good. What's missing? 1. Inability to resize individual boxes 2. Not much else This looks very promising and just what we've all been waiting for. THANKYOU!

Hello Geoff, Thank You for the download preview. I like these features. - Easily email any chart to family members - Export to .pdf, .bmp, .jpg, .png, .tiff, .psd - Order a wall chart and have it delivered to your front door - Includes a thorough help reference system for easy reference The one feature I really like but was not on the list. It appears you can copy/paste text on to the charts like a list of sources. i.e. like an Elizabeth Shown Mills example? Or you can copy/paste the chart to a word processor program? I have not explored this in detail as yet. Question: After Legacy 7 is released will it be an available option to add the source documentation to the chart by selecting that option?

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy Charting Pre-Release Edition Now Available For Free Download
I'm sure there will be some more considered reviews along from the old hands on this list, but after having a play with this program I think a big well done is deserved for the developers. What I particularly like: The Office 2007 style. I'm sure there will be those that dislike it because it's a bit of a change, but having been using Office 2007 for several months I was very happy to see this style being used, it is, IMHO, much more intuitive than the 'standard' windows menus lists. The drag and drop options. It looks like this is very straight forward to use, especially with the generational and familial group options. I like how it auto-draws the drop lines, rather than some other programs where you have to specifically tell them to pick them up, or have to reposition them by hand. The selection of charts. I love the father and mother charts. I didn't see an all people in db chart, but I'm not sure what I'd do with it anyway. Looks like a pretty good selection to me. Unexpected behaviour/Niggles The background pictures don't tile as I would expect. When I have a slim chart up (for instance the father ancestor chart) the background I chose tiled vertically, but only the centre portion of the picture was visible. I would have expected the whole picture to be used and then it would be tiled vertically and horizontally as appropriate When starting the program new and with a new chart all the previous settings are kept, including the background picture. I would have expected them to reset. Leading on from that, the possibility to set templates would be really nice - set up different colours + background + info per family, or per chart. Items to display box: a select all/deselect all check box would be nice to quickly change the viewed information settings. Using the scroll wheel always zooms into the top left corner. I was hoping there might be a scroll into the selected person on the chart, or based on the mouse position. OK, perhaps I'm being greedy, because niggles apart there is a lot that I like about this software. Thanks Geoff for the chance to get the charting module ahead of schedule. I'm looking forward to hearing what the other list members' first impressions are!

Geoff, Great program but: The first thing I tried to do did not work. I tried to create a simple 2 Gen 11x17 pdf chart with Father, Mother and (male and female) children. I included pictures birth, death and locations but did not want Children's spouses. I was going to copy the chart to a flash drive and print it on a printer that handles 11x17. I could not lock in size or the no spouses for children. What am I doing wrong? G.C.
