Re: [LegacyUG] Copy and Paste (REPORTS)
John... I have one foot in the door with FTM2008 and you might want to take another look when the finalize Service Pack 1. They will have some wonderful reports there... all the ones from FTM2006/V16 and some new very nice ones. They will also have a better share information function where you can export them to an RTF then post on rootsweb with good formating. I simply export it to word and then copy and paste from there. They are making vast improvements in FTM2008 and their sourcing, if you can figure it out, is actually more robust than legacy.

Re: [LegacyUG] Copy and Paste (REPORTS)
The company blog doesn't promise much more in its upcoming much bally-hooed update. It can be found at http://blogs.ancestry.com/ancestry/2007/09/28/welcome-to-the-new-family-tree-maker-blog/ I am anxiously awaiting the Legacy 7 update to make some real comparisons. Jackie -- C.G.

Re: [LegacyUG] Copy and Paste (REPORTS)
I have just a little inside information on this one. They are planning all kinds of unique and interesting plugins... that product is still in it's infancy. They really should have renamed it... as it is nothing like the FTM of old. However I am probably going to wait for Legacy 7... the moderator (especially the last one that posted) has given me new hope.

Re: [LegacyUG] Copy and Paste (REPORTS)
Hi John, Yes the Copy to Clipboard option is pretty useless I think because it copies as a graphic. However, it's not so hard to coy and paste a report. You just have to choose the right format. Do you mean the Descendant Chart report or the Descendant Book report or the Descendant Narrative Book? Descendant Chart - save to Text or HTML and copy and paste from that: Example: That's using formatting options - no boxes - pack on one line. Descendants of Richard Foote 1-Richard Foote b.

Re: [LegacyUG] Copy and Paste (REPORTS)
That included the place authority database for the United states. Legacy is no small download either when you factor in the place databases for it. I will say that Legacy's place databases and county verification can not be matched by ANY other genealogy program out there. Allen C.G.

Re: [LegacyUG] Copy and Paste (REPORTS)
Many of the reports can be sent to a text file, which can be opened in Notepad to do simple copy paste. In Legacy Deluxe Version 6.0.0.155, the Descendant Chart has the Text File option.
