[LegacyUG] Page width in text files
I create a lot of text files in Legacy 7 and I am having issues with the width of the files. The old standard was 80 characters but today's higher resolutions and wider monitors allow wider pages. Does anyone know if it's possible to change the width of these files so that I don't have to review each one for orphaned words or source references? -- Gina Heffernan 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).

[LegacyUG] Transiting passenger lists.
I'm seeking advice on how to record information from a passenger manifest. My distant cousins travelled by ship from Vancouver to Auckland, stopping at Honolulu. I want to record this information as it is the only evidence (so far) of the existence of their children. So, I have a date of departure from Vancouver, the ship name, the date of arrival in Honolulu and the fact that they were through passengers to Auckland. The father of the family died in New Zealand some time later so I'm guessing that they were emigrating at this time (but no hard evidence). I have three locations, two dates and would like to put all the locations in the location list so I can track the family. At the moment, I'm thinking of using 3 events Departure, Transit and Arrival, but I think it is going to be fairly ugly doing that. Any advice on which event(s) to use and which source template to use would be appreciated.

Re: [LegacyUG] Transiting passenger lists.
I use both Departure and Arrival for any travel or immigration/emigration events for each person that I can identify on the passenger manifest. As for Source template, which one I use depends on where I found the information and if I have an associated image or not.

Re: [LegacyUG] Page width in text files
Thanks, Brian, for trying to answer my question. The actual answer is: In the Report Window, there is a tiny little input box right next to the tic box for Text file when you choose which type of document to print/create. I just noticed it and changed it to 90 and now I'm very happy again. When wrapping text in a family group record, there are times that something like USA or (9) gets wrapped to the next line, it's worse when (printed) page 2 starts with that tiny bit of info. I just don't care for such small items being wrapped and, most of the time, adding the extra 10 spaces cures that issue - for me. Gina On Wed, Oct 16, 2013 at 5:54 PM, Brian/Support br...@legacyfamilytree.comwrote: Legacy has a wordwrap button on most text entry screens. Use that to make your lines free flow to the available width of the screen and/or pages when printed. It removes all single end-of-line markers but leaves multiple end-of-lines alone so it will preserve paragraph spaces. I am not sure what you mean by orphaned words or source references. When free-flowing text you may have a paragraph with a single word on a line but since the width available on a screen and the pages of a report vary from report to report and even from screen to screen if you re-size your screens as often as I do, that is not something you should worry about since what works on your screen may not work in report output.
