Re: [LegacyUG] navigating to associates
Sounds like that could be useful to do but sadly you can't do it in Legacy at this time. Please do submit a suggestion using the Suggestion form on our website www.LegacyFamilyTree.com Help Center or the link in the Support section of the Legacy Home tab.

[LegacyUG] Descendancy Report
I am creating a descendancy Report in legacy 7.5 which I intend to incorporate into a MS Word document and have 2 problems I need help with. 1. Because the report runs several pages, if an individual has a second spouse that appears on a subsequent page of the report, the spouse's entry appears as NAME (see other spouse name on page #) Because this report will be incorporated into a larger word document the page # in (see other spouse name on page #) does not correspond to the page number in the Word document. Is there an option to prevent legacy from including (see other spouse name on page #) in the report? 2. The second problem is related. Because the report is destined to be included in a much larger Word document, and I don't own a pdf editor, is there some way to produce the same report in editable form rather than pdf. So I can change some things about it, including colored text to highlight the direct line?

[LegacyUG] Formatting options in reports -- Are any of these possible?
The more I use Legacy, the more I realize what an amazingly complicated program it is. I suppose I want it to be even *more* complicated! Is there a way to do any of the following? On a descendant narrative report there is a line between each event that I would like to get rid of. Instead I would like a double space between events. (Bullet-style- formatting) And there is also a line under picture captions that I'd like to do away with. Also in the list of children, I'd like to have an empty line (*i.e*., double-space) between each child, but I see no way to do that. And, I'd like an empty line (*i.e*., double-space) after the sentence that says their children were: As you know, German given names for boys were often Johannes Christian, Johannes Adam, Johannes Ludwig, etc. Is there any way I can get Legacy to either use the middle name or the full given name in narratives? When the place of marriage is not given, Legacy inserts a blank line about an inch or two long. I'd like not to have that line and don't know how to get rid of it. I don't remember seeing it in the past. On individual events, the formatting options of italics, bold, etc. work fine in the notes field but don't affect the description, etc., fields.

I assure you, those double-spaces can more than double the size of your output. I spent several labor-weeks deleting enough blank lines to save 473 pages in one narrative. Aside from that, there are drawbacks to the blank-lines. They frequently cause the page to break oddly (whether you're printing to paper, to pdf or to html). A badly placed page break can change the reader's understanding of the material presented. And, when you add in Events and blank lines between those, you can produce a paper that has a Fog index well post-graduate. Since most people aren't post-grad, they are even more likely to misunderstand. I've had the misfortune of having to unravel meaning from some of these things, and it fails to raise the warm-fuzzies toward the author.

Re: [LegacyUG] Formatting options in reports -- Are any of these possible?
Use reset to set the report to defaults. There should not be a line between events but Legacy is now incorrectly adding those if you run a lined report first. The error is recorded in our problem reporting system. To change report spacing select the page layout tab then click the custom report spacing button. There are a number of line spacing options there that may give you what you want. The line for marriage is a new addition in response to a problem report. It is a placeholder when a marriage has no data entered but does have a source. We needed to insert something where we could include the source citation. Before the recent update we were not including source citations for marriages without data. There is no option to change the way pictures are included so the line under the caption cannot be removed. Although you cannot use the format buttons to set the format in the Event for the Event Name, Description, Dates or Places you can select the text and use CTRL-i to set italics, CTRL-b for bold, CTRL-u for underline and CTRL-s for superscript formats. If you try to add those format codes to Event names, dates and places though you will find that the event with format codes will become a new Master Event Definition for each form of code/code combination and places enclosed in format codes will also be new places in the Master Location list. For Events you will then have to define your own event sentence(s) for the new event definition. I did not test the impact of format codes around dates and date checking for invalid dates in Potential Problems. On the Chronology tab the event with a formatted date does sort correctly so the date may be working as a good date. I see two others have already replied re use of the quoted name to have Legacy use a middle name or nickname in reports.

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendancy Report
There are three Legacy reports you could be referencing. The Descendant Chart, Descendant Book and Descendant Narrative. The later two reports have an option to be output as RTF files which can be imported into your MS Word document, they include indexing and TOC codes which MS Word can use to include proper Xref page numbers. I am not sure about the page # reference on the spouse but I am sure you could change that page number to an appropriate Xref within MS word. The Descendant Chart report however only has a Text output so you would have to add your own Xref markings after importing the text file into your MS Word document.

Re: [LegacyUG] Location options?
I for one dislike the comma routine. Not clean presentation. It's a little extra effort but much prefer to enter the identity for a county, township, parish than to show missing data by using commas. I can see what's missing. If this causes extra effort because of software, so be it.

Re: [LegacyUG] digest mode option
Kathleen, I solved this problem by setting up a Legacy folder in my email inbox. All mail from the Legacy Users Group goes there and I deal with it as I have time.

Re: [LegacyUG] digest mode option
Hi Kathleen, As has already been said, there is no digest option for this mailing list. What you can do instead is manage your own incoming mail differently, so it behaves in a way that suits your needs. For all mailing lists I subscribe to (which is many, less than 100 but probably a lot more than 20), I use a filter to pick out that list mail and divert it from the Inbox. Some mailing lists (the busier ones) get their own folder, others get lumped into one folder - but they're still away from the Inbox. I wrote some instructions many years ago and put them on a web page; it's specifically for a different mailing list to this one, but is quickly adapted to any mailing list by changing the email address used. You'll find it at http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wendyh65/How-to.htm#RuleFilter ... ah, and now that I take another look at that page, I see I haven't included Thunderbird, which the headers of your post tell me you're using (and I am, too). The path you need to take in Thunderbird is Tools Message Filters. Once you've set that filter, your LUG mail will be put into its own folder (the one you specify in the filter) as it comes in, so it's kept away from your Inbox. You'll be able to see at a glance when there's new mail in it, and you can choose when to go and read it. Meanwhile, if you need to concentrate on what's in your Inbox (or elsewhere) you can do so without the LUG mail getting in the way. Hope this helps. :-) Wendy Kathleen Lenihan said the following on 23/09/2014 04:48: Hi, I'm a TMG refugee looking for a new home, and recently joined the Legacy user group. Instead of getting individual messages, is a digest mode an option?

My solution was to create a new gmail account. I'll use it to get messages from the Rootsweb mailing lists for TMG as well. No fuss, no muss, and the messages are there whenever I get around to them.

Re: [LegacyUG] Formatting options in reports -- Are any of these possible?
Cheryl, In response to your question Have you managed to tic the box saying 'Insert blanks for missing info'? No, it's not checked. Pat On Mon, Sep 22, 2014 at 3:32 PM, Brian/Support br...@legacyfamilytree.com wrote: Use reset to set the report to defaults. There should not be a line between events but Legacy is now incorrectly adding those if you run a lined report first. The error is recorded in our problem reporting system. To change report spacing select the page layout tab then click the custom report spacing button. There are a number of line spacing options there that may give you what you want. The line for marriage is a new addition in response to a problem report. It is a placeholder when a marriage has no data entered but does have a source. We needed to insert something where we could include the source citation. Before the recent update we were not including source citations for marriages without data. There is no option to change the way pictures are included so the line under the caption cannot be removed. Although you cannot use the format buttons to set the format in the Event for the Event Name, Description, Dates or Places you can select the text and use CTRL-i to set italics, CTRL-b for bold, CTRL-u for underline and CTRL-s for superscript formats. If you try to add those format codes to Event names, dates and places though you will find that the event with format codes will become a new Master Event Definition for each form of code/code combination and places enclosed in format codes will also be new places in the Master Location list. For Events you will then have to define your own event sentence(s) for the new event definition. I did not test the impact of format codes around dates and date checking for invalid dates in Potential Problems. On the Chronology tab the event with a formatted date does sort correctly so the date may be working as a good date. I see two others have already replied re use of the quoted name to have Legacy use a middle name or nickname in reports.

Instead I would like a double space between events. (Bullet-style- formatting) And there is also a line under picture captions that I'd like to do away with. Also in the list of children, I'd like to have an empty line (*i.e*., double-space) between each child, but I see no way to do that. And, I'd like an empty line (*i.e*., double-space) after the sentence that says their children were: As you know, German given names for boys were often Johannes Christian, Johannes Adam, Johannes Ludwig, etc. Is there any way I can get Legacy to either use the middle name or the full given name in narratives? When the place of marriage is not given, Legacy inserts a blank line about an inch or two long. I'd like not to have that line and don't know how to get rid of it. I don't remember seeing it in the past. On individual events, the formatting options of italics, bold, etc. work fine in the notes field but don't affect the description, etc., fields.

[LegacyUG] Repeating Source Pictures/Documents on Reports
Hi, I subscribed about a week ago, but I am not receiving any emails. I see a question I posted shows on the usergroup and I was hoping someone could help me with it. Here it is again: I just recently upgraded to Legacy 8 and I use the Basic System for sources. I have a 2 part issue: firstly, does ibid not work? Under Customize Legacy - Sources, Section 7.8 it says Use ibid for repeating Master Sources (this only applies to Basic-Style sources). I have this ticked, but so far this has failed to work on all types of reports. The 2nd part is that I like to attach a jpg picture of documents to the Master Source. The picture always appears twice on reports - once with the first Full Citation and then again with the subsequent citation (hence my question about ibid). Is there anyway to only have the picture appear with the first citation. Twice is overkill. I have gone through and tried numerous things with report options, but nothing works. My reports printed fine with the older version of Legacy that I was previously using. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Re: [LegacyUG] Repeating Source Pictures/Documents on Reports
Gregandlaurel, Not receiving list e-mails is a frequent problem, due to a flaw in the service that Milllenia uses. You need to send an e-mail to supp...@legacyfamilytree.com and ask them to fix your partially-working subscription. We had a big discussion here in 2009, where some people were bemoaning the fact that ibid had stopped working in the then latest release. Some points: - ibid is only useful for a citation where the master source is identical to the one in the immediately preceding citation. The way that reports are constructed, we have little control over the order of citations in footnotes. - Legacy uses the concept of 'subsequent citations', where an abbreviated form of the master citation is used if that master was cited anywhere above in the list of citations. - If both the master and detail information in a citation are identical to a previous citation, then Legacy should simply use the same footnote number in the report, rather than create a new footnote. It was not clear whether this was always working. - Subsequent citations get very complicated when dealing with SourceWriter sources. Bugs were logged. I haven't checked whether any work has been done on those issues. Many e-mails in the LUG archive.

Re: [LegacyUG] Repeating Source Pictures/Documents on Reports
Thank you Ward and Cheryl for your replies. I will contact Support about my emails. The situation was a Master Source repeating on the reports right after the exact Master Source before it -- with the same picture of the birth certificate repeated. I could handle the repeating Source if the picture didn't repeat.It just seems a whole big mess of citations compared to the older version. Thanks again.
