[LegacyUG] Printing problem
I am visiting a couple of church graveyards to-morrow and want to take a list of the people whose graves i am looking for, so I created a Search list and attempted to print it. It is printing with white text, so alternate sections on a pale background are almost unreadable and alternate sections on a white background are totally unreadable! It looks perfectly normal in Preview. I am staying with a relative and using the standard version of Legacy 8 so can't create a PDF to carry with me on my tablet. Phooey!

[LegacyUG] Attaching a picture
I'm curious to find ot why. If I go to Picture Centre and complete details on the picture of Caption/Date/Description. When I attach to any person from the Picture Centre the Caption/Date/Description all appear with the picture. But when I attach the same picture via the individual's information to for eg, an event or marriage picture or baptism picture, the Caption/Date/Description do not appear. As the 2nd method is a lot quicker/easier its natural to go this way, until I realise it is not the way to go. Why is it necessary to use the long way round ?

Re: [LegacyUG] New computer: what order to do these?
Hi Dee, Installing the programs --- You want both v7 and v8 on your computer, so go ahead and install the two programs onto your new computer. For each version, download the installation files from the Legacy web site and run them to install them properly - don't try to copy the program from one computer to another, that won't work. Download v8 from http://legacyfamilytree.com/DownloadLegacy.asp and v7 from http://legacyfamilytree.com/helpDownloadVersion7.asp#7 For each of them, once the file is downloaded, locate that file (in your Downloads folder), and double-click on it to run the installation. This installs the program onto your computer. Copying the data files -- Then you need to decide how you're going to manage the two sets of data files. The v8 data file, once you've opened it in v8 and it's converted to the new format, will not open in v7, so you need to take a little care to ensure you don't loose the v7 file in the process. On my computer, I've set up two folders, one for Legacy v7 data, the other for Legacy v8 data. If you do the same, copy the v7 data files you have now to both folders - at this point, before doing anything else, you have two sets of identical copies of your data files. Don't forget to also copy the ancilliary files if you have them - the files with the same name but end in .TC, .RGD and so on - to retain your previous customisations. You might want to give the v8 files a different name so you don't confuse them, even if it's just slightly different by adding v8 to the end of the filename. (I discovered by chance the other day that if you select all the various files with the same filename (the name of your data file) in Windows Explorer, then press F2 to edit the name and change the one filename that it offers, all the highlighted files will be altered - it's a quick way of updating when you're going through this exercise.) Opening the data files in their respective programs --- The v7 data file is ready to be opened in Legacy v7. In v8, open the data file in the v8 folder - you will be asked how you want it handled. There are three choices: -- Copy my family file to the My Documents folder, convert it to the new format, and open it -- Make a backup of my family file before converting it and then open it where it is -- Just convert my family file and open it You've already taken steps to protect the original data (by making a copy for v8), so select the third option and let Legacy do its work converting the file to the new structure. Note that you don't have to put the data file under the My Documents folder, though it is the default. But it's a good idea to put it there, unless you've got your own filing system that you know how to manage adequately (ie backups, etc). Remember also that any changes you make in one file won't automatically update in the other. You may like to label one data file as a test, so you don't confuse which one is the current, working file. Hope this helps. :-) Kind Regards, Wendy Dee Ziegler said the following on 6/01/2014 8:57 a.m.: New computer, Windows7. Advice, please: In what order should these be done? * Load Legacy7, standard, from flash drive. (Flash drive has two separate families, which I'd like to keep separate for now.)

I purchased the De Luxe version 7.4 (from my disc) but maybe I updated from there but I can't get into the program to check as explained next. I went in today and tried to open a family file. It said that the format had changed and did I want to convert to the new format and cautioned that if I did that I might not be able to see the data or something like that. I clicked don't convert but I could not open the family file. Would someone please explain what is going on? Thanks for any help.

Re: [LegacyUG] can't open my family files
You have to allow the conversion to take place in order to view the file in v7.5 Go to our website www.LegacyFamilyTree.com Download and in the Frequently Asked Questions selection on the right you'll find a link to earlier versions of Legacy (the current version is v8). If you ever want to go back to a previous version of Legacy, you'll have to create a gedcom in the version you're using and import that gedcom into an earlier version.

Re: [LegacyUG] Attaching a picture
When you're in Picture Center, if you add the Caption Date and Description to the Picture List tab, then it will be automatically added when you link a picture. If it's added to the Attached Pics tab, then it applies only to that instance you're linking to. This is fully explained in the Help file for Picture Center.

Re: [LegacyUG] CORRECTION: Legacy 8 User Manual
Ron, I am in agreement with you that the already updated PDF manual should be available for download. Those of us who live in Canada had to pay $15 shipping and handeling - doubling the price of the already oudated manual. On top of this the manuals were printed in Canada, shipped to Arizona and then srent to Canada, go figure.

You obviously did not read carefully what I wrote. I did not advocate, nor mention, providing program updates to Millennia's software at no cost to the customer. I only speculated on alternative means of providing more current versions of documentation to Millennia's customers who had already paid for the program and its documentation. In the case of the PDF manual version I fail to see where offering a free download update to that PDF file to those customers who had already purchased a PDF manual would represent any significant added cost to Millennia if they are udating that PDF version regularly anyway. Naturally such customers would have to provide their customer number to validate their entitlement to the updated PDF manual. I am always amazed at how people manage to comment on other people's writing without reading that writing. Any software firm is faced with a juggling act between holding production costs at bay while also supporting their customer base with adequate documentation. My suggestions were made with both concerns in mind, and I feel they offered options that might satisfy both needs.

That way they could provide the publisher with updates on a regular basis and customers purchasing a printed manual would get the latest version when they buy. The PDF version of the Legacy reference manual should be constantly updated along with the Help files. Those who purchased a PDF Legacy manual should be provided with a means of downloading the latest version of the PDF manual whenever it is updated, and at no cost to the customer. Updates to the PDF manual could be provided to an on-demand publisher of the printed version to keep that version in sync with the PDF version and the Help files. I am a huge fan of Geoff Rasmussen's Legacy webinars, and have attended almost every one of them. Although Geoff's book, Unlocking Legacy 8 is very useful and enjoyable to read, because it is patterned after the Watch Geoff Live webinar presentations it is not well-suited for use as a easy reference work because it lacks an index. One must be willing to read through an entire chapter in search of a particular setting or partial process.

Legacy/Millennia already provides free upgrades to their software - most of those free upgrades have been substantial updates to the software that many companies would have called a new version and charged customers for an update. Millennia has not done that. Updating the user manual every time there has been a change to the software could and would become an expensive undertaking for Millennia, yet you think that they should undertake this additional cost - free of charge to their customers. The help files are kept updated and I personally think that is sufficient. I'd be curious to know what other software company/companies update their manual (whether printed or pdf) every time they have an update to their software. I am always amazed at how people have this mentality that a company has bottomless pockets and therefore being a customer entitles them to all the freebies they can get regardless of the cost to the company.

RE: [LegacyUG] Attaching a picture
She is wondering why the convoluted process. It is a major pain to have to jump through so many hoops when most pictures have the same caption, date, and description. Considering Legacy is based on Access, it is possible to allow the entry at the Individual/Event/whatever level to carry over to the Picture Center and ALSO have a way to add specific details to a specific use of that picture. Programmers can do it; it's just a matter of doing it CE From: she...@legacyfamilytree.com To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Attaching a picture Date: Sun, 5 Jan 2014 14:14:45 -0800 When you're in Picture Center, if you add the Caption Date and Description to the Picture List tab, then it will be automatically added when you link a picture. If it's added to the Attached Pics tab, then it applies only to that instance you're linking to. This is fully explained in the Help file for Picture Center.

[LegacyUG] Missing boxes on Pedigree tab
In 7.5, we could turn on 2 boxes in the Pedigree tab: Spouses/children siblings But I can't see a way to do that in version 8. I know you can hover over a person to get their spouses/children, but I like having the boxes fully visible. In 7.5 I did NOT like the fact that the Spouses/children box did not have a labeled, but I did like having the boxes there all the time. Made it easier to see relatives at a glance, and made it easier to move to other people. (The hover doesn't always seem to work or sometimes it seems to come up slowly.)

[LegacyUG] Cloning settings to 2nd computer
Once I have version 8 tweaked how I like it on my desktop PC, what files to I need to copy to my laptop to have those same tweaks in place? Also - in the CUSTOMIZE box, there are several settings with gbl. I'm assuming they are GLOBAL. That is, those settings are in effect no matter what family file I open, correct? And some of the settings have ff - I'm guessing those are specific to the family file I have opened (correct?). But what in the heck does ff stand for?

Re: [LegacyUG] When to use est and when to use abt

When I have a child of a couple being born/baptised at a known time, I use other clues to establish marriage Baptism - does the register indicate base born or natural or illegitimacy in anoy other way? Yes? then I note that no marriage had occured at that time, otherwise I leave it blank as unless you have confirmed ages for the parents at that time and therefore know that marriage it likely to be within the last year. If I had a child next year, and an assumption was made that I married the year before the child was born, they'd be wrong. I got married 18 years ago.

Re: [LegacyUG] When to use est and when to use abt
My thought would be: abt = you have some pretty solid evidence, but not exact (or if the evidence said about) est = YOU made an educated guess, or you KNOW someone else made an educated guess. For example if you had the birth date of 1st and 3rd child, and you had no date on 2nd child but you stuck in a date so 2nd child would show up in correct order. YOU SHOULD PROBABLY PUT A NOTE about this for that child, stating that it was a guess and not based upon any solid evidence. But I'm not sure if putting in things like this is wise 'cause someone else might not see your notes and may take the guess as solid evidence for their file . . .
