Re: [LegacyUG] Location options?
Another way to work on locations that may be useful is to use the Search and Replace from the Search Ribbon. Find where: Lists-Location [for the long name] Lists-Location Short [for the short name] Depending on what needs fixing, this may be an option you've overlooked Bonnie.

Re: [LegacyUG] Formatting options in reports -- Are any of these possible?
Brian, Thanks so much for your detailed reply. However, you wrote, 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. That works find in the birth and death fields, but has no effect in the event location field. In one case I tried both a CTRL-u and a CTRL-i and it underlined the word but did not italicize it.

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. Any way to change that?

The best way to figure out where the pdf went is to create another one. When the Windows box comes up on your screen where you need to give the pdf a name, look and see WHERE the pdf is saving too.

Re: [LegacyUG] Repeating Source Pictures/Documents on Reports
It would seem to me that when there is one and ONLY one source in the Master Source list, a(any)the) program ought not need too much more to identify an ibid or an idem or even an op cit. Yet, none of them seem to. :( Agreed that when person A has 10 source citations and person B has 8 and person C 16, ibid probably won't work real often, but op cit certainly should. IS that subsequent citation thing working for you? I'm not seeing any difference in my output. Yes, I know I can edit it after creating the file, but _having to_ seems unnecessary. Cheryl Ward Walker wrote: 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.

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 So far as I can tell, no it isn't working. Never has for me. 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. Again, not so far as I can tell. Another argument against putting pictures with/in/on sources, I guess. 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.

[LegacyUG] Showing Half Children
LUGgers: I am doing something wrong but I cannot figure out what. I have added two additional wives to a collateral ancestor. He had two children by his first wife and his third wife had three children by her first marriage. If I have the father and his first wife, only their two children show. When the father and his second wife show in the Family View, only his two children by the first wife show as 1/2 children. When the father and his third wife show in the Family view, all five children show as 1/2 children. Why don't all five children show with each wife with the 1/2 as needed? I am using LFT v8.0.0.427; would going to .439 help, do I need to do something else or do I need to do both? Thanks in advance.

Re: [LegacyUG] Attaching a PDF file to email
I wish there was someone within 1 or 2 hours from the Raleigh, NC area who could help me straighten out the locations of where my Legacy files sit. I messed everything up when I went to Legacy 8 and now realized that some of my files, including the DATA for PDF files is still sitting on the C Drive and not under documents. I just don't know how to straighten it all out, as I have a number of family files. Thank you all for your replies. You made me think about this mess and if I went back to C:Legacy and then Data, that is where all my PDF files are saved and are still going there.

Re: [LegacyUG] Repeating Source Pictures/Documents on Reports
Laurel, I am reminded now, by looking at my own data, that subsequent citations only seem to work for SourceWriter sources, not with Basic sources. You could request a Legacy enhancement to at least drop the media from subsequent Basic sources. In the meantime, have you considered attaching the picture to the source Detail instead of the Master? That way you could attach it to only one of the citations, instead of all of them. As an aside, it seems unusual to have a birth certificate in a Master source. More common would be for the master to represent a collection, and the individual certificate to be in the Detail portion of the citation. You can still easily cite the certificate more than once, using the source clipboard. One further thought: Do the readers of your reports really need to ever see a picture at all within source footnotes? Especially when it is hard to read. You can still attach the picture for your internal reference, without choosing to display it in the report citations. Also, pictures that do display well, like photos of people, can optionally be attached to an event, in which case they will show up just once.

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.

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.

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 So far as I can tell, no it isn't working. Never has for me. 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. Again, not so far as I can tell. Another argument against putting pictures with/in/on sources, I guess. 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] Showing Half Children
You are not doing anything wrong, 1/2 children show only when they are linked to one of the two people who are spouses in the current family view. Only 2 children show with the first wife because they are the only children linked to that couple (children of wives 2 and 3 are not 1/2 kids here). When the second wife is selected only the two children linked to him show (from this I assume he and the second wife had no children together and she has no children from another marriage). They show as 1/2 kids because the second wife is not their parent. The 5 children show with the third spouse because three children are linked to the third spouse and two are linked to him.

Re: [LegacyUG] Formatting options in reports -- Are any of these possible?
The Event/Fact, Description, Date and Place fields are not WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) fields. When you use the CTRL-key to format those fields, including the place, you should see a string of funny characters before and after the text. Those strings of characters are the format codes I mentioned. They tell the reports to turn on the attribute then turn it off again. You only see the text with the format applied in reports. Not sure where you saw the format applied, I did not see it on the event edit screen nor on the individual edit screen. Remember also my warning about the effect of using those format codes in place names. New York, New York, New York, United States is NOT the same location as that location with those format codes surrounding the name. Unless you are using the same set of format codes on every location you will have multiple copies of the location when you have places with and without format codes added or with different combinations of codes like underline plus Italic and underline only. In family view all the format codes are ignored in the display of the vital events. In Descendant View the place names were displayed only with the format codes not as WYSIWYG. In Chronology View a place name with underline added caused every following line to be underlined in the report style (with the option to have places displayed in reverse order the format on code at the start of the place name is not followed by a format off code because that is at the beginning of the place name after the country name which precedes the city in that option. It would be interesting to see how the display would look with all locations having formats applied, the format off codes after each country would turn off the underline then it would turn back on with the city name.

Re: [LegacyUG] Attaching a PDF file to email
Hi Margaret, When I save either a document, photo or a pdf, I rarely save it where the computer would automatically save it. I choose a file -- documents sounds like a good place for what you are saving or you could try a thumb drive that you have connected. If you have a lot of pdfs for a particular family, make a new folder in documents or on the thumb drive with the family name. Or maybe you would rather make a file or folder there with the name Legacy and then another file or folder within Legacy with the family name. That way you could have several folders there with different family names with multiple documents in them. Perhaps you are wondering how to get to documents. In my computer there is an arrow pointing up next to the location that is originally offered. Continue to go up until you find This PC which, at least in my computer, lists desktop documents downloads music pictures videos and any thumb drive that you might have connected. Note where it is that you file the pdf and then when you want to add it to your e-mail, you will be able to go right to documents or the thumb drive or wherever you have saved it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Formatting options in reports -- Are any of these possible?
Hi Pat, I hadn't thought of doing that. That's a good solution for some things. Your problem may be where you are trying to do the edit. You need to edit existing locations in the Master Location list unless you want the location with and without the formatting. It works for me. I chose a location used in a Residence event and the italics are there in the reports. I chose to edit a location for another event in the Event dialogue just by adding formatting to part of it and it asked if I wanted to save a new location. Of course if you want the location without the italics as well then you'd have to have two entries in the Location list which were identical apart from the italics (or whatever other formatting you applied). I note that formatting for a vital event location doesn't show through onto Family View but is there in reports. When you tried to use both italics and underline, were you trying to do both at the same time. that is: highlight the bit you wanted formatting and then go Ctrl + u and then immediately Ctrl + i? If so, that's why it didn't work. You have to highlight the bit you are formatting again, otherwise you've just added the second format to the end of the highlighted section.

Re: [LegacyUG] TMG
On 9/17 this email was on the List: We are working on a direct import of TMG files. So, I recommend waiting for that to bring your real data into Legacy. In the meantime you can play around with Legacy and get to know it some.

[LegacyUG] Family File Statistics - Individuals born after 2000.
Hello Group, Just found the 'Family File Statistics' report and noticed there is a 'Births By Era' section with a sub section for 'Individuals Born After 2000' and on my file this section had '0'. I have 4 grandchildren born after 2000. Am I missing something? Thanks (as usual), Ronald E Howell _ No virus found in this message.
