[LegacyUG] User's Remarks
I was referring someone to the Legacy program and after they browsed through the Legacy web pages, they were most enthusiastic of the Report and Book capabilities. But then they asked me a simple question if it was possible for a user to add an "introductory or background information" to their family file, something relating to how they started the research, perhaps strange or unusual things found, etc." Quite frankly, I didn't have an immediate response for them other than to keep such notes and information in a separate text file. But they countered with that the whole concept of keeping one database was to keep everything together in one file rather than two or more files. I thought about this more and wondered if the appropriate spot would be to add this info to the "Compiler Information Comments" area. I'm not too sure just how much text this box holds as I've never added anything beyond one sentence. Any ideas?

[LegacyUG] Search and Replace
Hello, I've rejoined the group to ask a couple of questions. a)in older versions of Legacy, using Search and Replace was a 1-step action, it searched and replaced as it searched. Currently, it's a 2-step action, it goes through all my records to find the search criterion, then I must say Replace All, and it goes through all my records again to replace. I have over 25K people and this takes a while to perform. Is there a simpler way to do search and replace with a 1-step process as previously? Am I doing something wrong? b)I use the old sourcing method, have used it for as long as I've had Legacy. When I go to the sources for a person, the books icon for all sources for that person, and click on a listed source, I like to see the entire source which includes the date I logged it, etc. in the Footnote/Endnote Citation. When I click that radio button some of the sources show and some do not show, nothing shows. I think it has something to do with "include this citation on reports" option on the Source Clipboard screen but when I go back and check that, it does not fix anything. My question, how do I write my sources so that they will always show everything in the Footnote/Endnote Citation? What am I doing wrong? How can I set this globally? These two situations are really frustrating for me. I appreciate suggestions any of you might have. Thank you.

Re: [LegacyUG] spacing
What I did was hit the reset button and I just got the address in parentheses. Too bad it doesn't say Address: anymore. Why it did before I don't know.

The Event Address included by Legacy is the portion in the Parentheses () Check how you have entered the data for the Event to look at how the entry of Mary A Murphy was entered for the Address: in your sample.

Including Event Address in a Descendant Report gives me the following type of result: https://www.dropbox.com/s/n0ljl3pquah662i/2013-03-31_133213.jpg Not even so much as a space. I would prefer if it would sit at the top of the paragraph next to or beneath the city/state/country address and before the Notes. Any chance? I can see I could get it to sit one line below the Notes if I put a carriage return there but ... -- JL Beeken JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://jlog.jgen.ws/ Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
