Re: [LegacyUG] How to configure Family View ?

[Margaret Turner]

For the number of children displayed,
 I use Custom, Option 8, 8.5 Child Columns on View, Best Fit Columns
This allows a 12 children family to be displayed in 3 columns.

[LegacyUG] Including step children in a Descendant Chart

[Margaret Turner]

Is there a way to include step children of a male (and also if possible the
first husband of his wife).

I have made a link from the child's to their biological parents, and a
adopted link to the step father, without success.

Thanks

Re: [LegacyUG] How to query in 7.5

[Margaret Turner]

If you are willing to plunge into the world of SQL !!!
I am of no help in SQL :(
here is a working example from Ltools (now free) which works only in Legacy
7 (hence my dependence on 7.5) http://zippersoftware.com/wp/
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/ltools/conversations/topics/1022

Finding persons died under age 15
SELECT IDIR, BirthD, DeathD, DateValue(Mid([BirthD],5,2) & "/" &
Mid([BirthD],3,2) & "/" & Mid([BirthD],7,4)) AS BirthDate,
DateValue(Mid([DeathD],5,2) & "/" & Mid([DeathD],3,2) & "/" &
Mid([DeathD],7,4)) AS DeathDate INTO tempAges
FROM tblIR
WHERE ((IDIR<>0) AND (BirthD Like "00*") AND (DeathD Like "00*") AND
((Mid([BirthD],3,2))<>"00") AND ((Mid([BirthD],5,2))<>"00") AND
((Mid([DeathD],3,2))<>"00") AND ((Mid([DeathD],5,2))<>"00"));

I do this just to make the next query easier to read.

SELECT IDIR, BirthD, DeathD, DateDiff("",[BirthDate],[DeathDate]) AS
Age INTO tblAges FROM tempAges;

 Subject: [LegacyUG] Resizing photos the Geoff way

 Some time ago in a webinar Geoff showed us how to resize photos to a
 uniform
 size by using Photoshop Elements and dropping one correctly-sized photo
 onto
 a larger one in the Project Bin.

 I have performed this manoeuvre many times and successfully produced a
 nice
 set of matching-size pictures to use in Legacy.  I have also ATTEMPTED
 to do
 it several times and not succeeded.  What happens sometimes is that I do
 Ctrl-A then try to slide the pic from the main window to the one in the
 Bin
 and instead of this working as it should, the main window photo appears
 to
 slide off it's canvas, leaving a white space on the screen.

 I cannot for the life of me work out what I am doing wrong because I
 think I
 am following the same process every time.  Any suggestions?

[LegacyUG] Can I have both Legacy 7 and Legacy 9 running concurrently (different data file)?

[Margaret Turner]

I understand installing v9 deletes v8.
 I would like to have both versions instlled.
I would do changes in v7, and when required, copy legacy data file and open
it (ie no updates) in 9.
Then I would go back to work on v7 data using v7

I am dependent on ltools.

Re: [LegacyUG] Next problem - Unsupported format

[Margaret Turner]

Marion,
I have used Legacy from the year dot (ie. from the first public release).
I have never had problems having spaces in my file names in my .jpg files.
I have used Legacy with Windows, currently on Win 8.1
I use Legacy 7.5 (though I have Legacy 8 installed I have no problem with
filen ames with spaces.

 Hi Bob,

 Every single one of the paths and file names have spaces in them - both in
 the ones that are linking and the ones that are not. On my own tree I have
 a similar format in the way of spaces and there is no problem, so I don't
 feel it will be that but I will change things bit by bit first - the type
 of extension then change the file name (leaving spaces in) and at the end
 will remove spaces if needs be but I will wait for Brian first, he has done
 a lot of work on this to date. Thank you for the suggestion, will keep it
 in mind.

 two again and let you know. If it wasn't the length of the file name there
 must be something in the file name itself.
 I will let you know if there are problems with the linking on the file

 Again thank you for your investigation - any information helps.

 I have tested a long path/filename string in Legacy. I created a long
 path with nested folders until windows would not let me add another
 because filenames would not fit into the limit of path lengths. I then
 placed a picture in the next-to-last folder in that path. I had
 previously linked the file to a person in Legacy 8.0. I used the media
 relinker to rebuild to link to the picture and did not get any
 unsupported format message. I then added characters to the file name
 until Windows would not accept any more. In this way I think I hit the
 windows limit on path/filename length. This time, since the file name
 was different I told the legacy I would look for the file myself. I
 browsed to the long folder/filename and linked it without problem.

 I did not count the characters in the path but I am satisfied that
 Legacy can use the longest path allowed by Windows and will not give any
 unsupported format message.

 Hi All
 I'm hoping someone can help.
 I've got a missing media file in htis location:

 I can't find which source this is.  I've deleted all the sources for this

 Can anyone tell me where to look in Legacy so I can sort out the missing

 over at all?

 I envision using my website to document a line one at a time, uploading
 all the original source documentation or abstracts from published books,
 etc.  I would like to combine a narrative with some descendant data, but
 probably not all.  I liked Pat Hickin's tree at wikitree for this
 reason, and that the sources were all displayed as footnotes and so
 easily seen in context with the events they documented.

  Two basic types of family tree sites exist: static pages and dynamic
  pages.
 
  Static pages means you create all of the pages
  you wish to upload to whatever hosting service
  you wish to use. After you create the pages on
  your PC; you then have to upload all of the pages
  by FTP (or some similar tool) to your hosting
  service. You may wish to create some pages as
  home pages to tell your story. The disadvantage
  of this technique is that it does not scale well.
  As the size of your family file gets bigger, you
  have more and more pages. Further, many of them
  will be small and, as a result, consume large amounts of hosting
  space.
 
  In the late 1990s, a program was created called
  IGM by Randy Winch. The idea behind IGM was that
  you uploaded your Gedcom file to your hosting
  service along with the IGM software and had IGM
  process your Gedcom and allow you to have IGM
  create your web pages dynamically as visitors
  requested them. Randy enhanced IGM for RootsWeb
  and that is what RootsWeb's WorldConnect service is using.
 
  In the early 2000s, two software products were
  created to take the IGM experience to a higher
  level. They have the limitation that the hosting
  service has to support php scripting MySQL
  databases that not all free or cable company
  hosting provides. They also expect the user to
  have, or have access to, some basic webmastering
  skills. Both require a quality hosting service
  and for you to acquire a domain name for your site.
 
  One is the OpenSource product phpGedView. This
  has the advantage that it is free. It is also slow.

Re: [LegacyUG] Webpages

[Margaret Turner]

Thanks Don.

No I can FTP the images to the tng docs folder, as in one major upload. The
media links are in the legacy-generated gedcom that is uploaded.

On my desktop, using Legacy 7.5 still, I have turner/docs/turner,
 turner/docs/mellor, ... etc.for each of my major family surname groupings.
I have turner/photos/turner, turner/photos/mellor, ... etc.for my major
surname photos.
Other tng users may have their documents organised by type, eg.,
 docs/census, docs/certificates, ...

I changed the organisation of my folder names on legacy desktop, made sure
all images linked OK, using ltools and the legacy option.
Just need to reload new gedcom, make sure I have uploaded all the images,
generate all thumbnails (press of button in tng admin menu).

 2. tng will not display the image as part of the sources listed at the

 the particualr source ie.
 http://turnermob.com/showsource.php?sourceID=S192tree=turner.

 3. I'm a splitter.

 4. The web site is in the process of being updated, so not all documents

 GREETINGS, ALL

 I have no opinion about the ability (or not) of Legacy to 'source'
 photographs. But I DO have an opinion about the best way to provide source
 info for a photograph; put the source information in the image metadata.

 Metadata is the data about the data image; the text information that
 accompanies each image, JPEG or whatever. The metadata allows us to attach
 everything from our street address to the subject of the photo to the
 technical info about the photograph ... to the source of the photo. I believe
 any useful information associated with an image has a place somewhere in
 the metadata.

 Most modern image processing or image viewing programs allow access to
 the metadata, yet too few of us use this important feature of digital
 imaging ... myself included. I know I should type the stuff into the
 appropriate fields but too often I grow bored and move on to more exciting
 things. Doesn't matter if you follow the approach of Elizabeth Shown Mills
 or not; just put something in the metadata that will allow someone else to
 know where you found the image (even if it is from your personal collection
 of photographs).

 *Bottom line; put sourcing in the metadata no matter what other sourcing
 you may do !!!*

 You could also use an event created for the purpose. Then you could
 search for people with that event when you wanted to, display it in
 Family View if you wanted to. Make notes for when you do get around to
 that person, about how you want to do it or what to feature... you can

 Recently I've been going through all my multimedia photos to crop, rotate,

 photos are found by Legacy. Typically these have been things like marriage
 documents but later research determined that they were for a person with
 the identical name in the same area but not the person in my file. That
 marriage was deleted but due to human forgetfulness, the marriage document
 remained in the folder with all the other marriage documents.



 Is there a way for Legacy to determine what files in a given folder are
 not linked anywhere in Legacy? I'm using v7.5 and am well familiar with the
 option to Check All Media Locations but this will make a list of MISSING
 files, and the same option can also unlink unreferenced Media FOLDERS. But
 what I want is an option to make a list of UNREFERENCED FILES found in any
 of the media locations. I'd be curious to know if v8 has this capability
 over v7.5. (Yeah, I'm getting close to making the switch...just a few more
 bug swats especially in the reports area and I jump in.)

Re: [LegacyUG] Fw: Failed restore

[Margaret Turner]

Joan,

What version of legacy are you using? Version 7 or the new version 8.

What steps did you follow when you were doing back ups?
Joan, I have only V7 so this is how I could do a backup in two ways:
1. Using the menu option across the top of the screen
File | Backup File
Do you remember if you had Data Files selected
and do you know which drive it save to (you mentioned a CD - is this your
backup or the Legacy-purchased installation CD?)
2. When you closed your legacy program, and it may have prompted you to do
a backup.

This may help you to assist others in trying to solve your problems:

 I keep my genealogical image files in one very specific folder, granted it

 I would infinitely prefer to have Legacy search that parent folder and
 it's sub-folders only as there is no reason at all for it to search
 anywhere else on my computer.

 Thoughts? Opinions?

Re: [LegacyUG] GMail Warnings on Mike Fry's messages

 Well, that's something different. I wonder if it's the way I use the gmail 
 account?

 I NEVER use a browser for reading or sending email.

 I use Thunderbird to send and receive mail via two Gmail servers, 
 smtp.gmail.com
 and pop.gmail.com. There's no real reason to use smtp.gmail.com for outbound
 mail. I could try passing mail through my ISPs server instead. I suppose I 
 could
 also change the Reply-to address and see if I can get the mail back from a
 different server.

 Anyone else using Tbird and gmail and gmail servers?

Re: [LegacyUG] Report with images

[Margaret Turner]

Jay,

I made a custom cemetery event for my database, so that any grave photo
would print out in a descendant book report.

Are these people genetically linked in any way? Eg. groups of families at
same burial plot.

Maybe use ltools to change cemetery event to burial ?? (haven't tried this!)

So then could you do a multiple descendant report with cemetery event with
large image in the report.

:)

Re: [LegacyUG] Photos not embedded in the reports

[Margaret Turner]

I think the maximum file size of a Word 2010 file is 32 Mb.
This is a Word limitation not a Legacy problem as Legacy is generating
it as a generic RTF file.

Maybe the original RTF files needs to split into separate documents.
Then have one master document to read theses sub documents

 It doesn't matter if we are doing this on the same or a different computer.  
 We have check marked the option to embed photos, but it isn't working.  We

 and cannot go back and rerun reports anymore.  What other options can we do 
 now?  What other options can we do in the future?

 We found that we cannot use Word 2010 to do the reports because the files are 
 way too large and Word stops responding and saving.  We have to use Word 2003 
 or 2007.  It would be nice for Legacy 8 to come out and upgrade to the newer 
 Word.  It doesn't matter if we are going between Word versions or using the 
 same one.

 Would someone either respond publicly or privately to me.  We are supposed to 
 send the 23 lines and introduction to the publisher by the end of this week.

 Also we noticed that despite the fact that we checked to only include User ID 
 numbers, the MRINS are showing up in the reports anyway.  We have spent TONS 
 of hours just removing the MRINs alone.  Any idea how to get them not to show 
 up in the reports?

 The last couple of days it has also been acting strange, and the problems
 may be related. (no virus detected in the scan I just made.):
 I tried to update my program from one last year to the current one, and now
 every time I open the program I get a message something like - We were
 expecting a program dated Sep 2012 (or some such date) but we got one dated
 Mar 2013.

 Then the program clears that message. I again select the file I want to
 open
 and it opens all right. That is, it did until just a few minutes ago.

 A little more explanation - I caused some glitch in the normal update of
 the
 program in the deluxe edition, but downloaded the updated version - it
 seems
 like there was a minor problem in that, and evidently there was because of
 the message that my file was a later version than was expected. Evidently
 it
 was not completed correctly, but now it won't open at all.

 I am stumped, but I am continually amazed at the depth of talent on this
 list. I am looking forward for that talent being used in my behalf.

Re: [LegacyUG] Questions, Legacy charts and Charting program

[Margaret Turner]

To do charting, you need to buy the delux version.
In appearance, you can select colours as none.
You can publish that chart to a .pdf file so you can check out the result
without printing it on your computer (ie you can view it) as well as
putting the .pdf  on a a flash drive to take to a commercial printer.
I tested it with 9 generations and al is OK.

 I want a nine-generation fan chart, the classic half-circle. I'll use a
 flash drive and a commercial printer. Can Legacy produce it with no
 background colors?

 Also, I want to include occupations for the later six or seven
 generations. Can I edit the computer-generated chart to do that?

 My printer is out of action for a while so I can't run tests, temporarily.

 Thanks for any comments from experienced users. Cheers,

Re: [LegacyUG] Computer crashed - how do I move legacy to new computer?

[Margaret Turner]

Ron,

If you have turned it off.

From Help:

If you have turned off the backup reminder, we recommend that you
reset your Legacy options to automatically prompt for backups each
time you exit the program. Here's how:

1. Click Options on the menu bar and select Customize from the options menu.

2. At the Customize screen, click on the Other tab.

3. Click on the Turn on or off Optional Reminder Messages button.

4. On the Prompts/Reminders tab, checkmark the option, Reminder to
make a backup when exiting Legacy and then click the Close button.

 Yes, you should start with installing the latest version of Legacy.
 Copying and pasting your backup Legacy folder over the top of the
 installation is not the best idea but it will do in a pinch. That way
 you'll preserve your user settings.
 
 After you have it all on your new computer, you can install Legacy again
 over the top of everything to make sure you have all the files that
 should be there. I think that's how I'd do it anyway if I was where you are.
 
 For the future, there's a backup button that can be dragged onto your
 toolbar in Legacy. Right click on the toolbar and it will bring up a
 menu of icons. Find the backup button and drag it up to the top and
 click OK.
 
 Or you can back up using the File menu. It says right there - Backup
 Family File. This will create a zip file. Make a folder for them
 wherever you want and you can customize the Location for them on the
 Customize Backup screen.
 
 In the future you can use Restore to bring back a zip file.

 Is there a way to copy these details without having to re-enter everything

 having to repeat entering the same details repeatedly.

Something strange has happened to my display in family view
Under the (now way too large) sized-fonts for the parents names,  I can see
now only one child displayed and no means to scroll down to see their other
children.

I've tried Options | Fonts | Screen Fonts then reset to default
 which becomes  stretch when resizing is ticked, min, font is 6, max is 99).

Re: [LegacyUG] Print book

The MRINs never change.

I have a number of Multiple Lines of Descents books that I produce

1. At the bottom of the first window it has *Change* (perhaps this
couldhave been worded as Select
this allows you to select the marriage ID of the top ancestor for
family A, B, ..

2. I select the required options: Index, Report and Title page

3. In the Report Settings I select Save (the save this as something
like multi_book_A_B)

  The load and save buttons on all the report screens are for loading and

Re: [LegacyUG] preferred person displayed within a marriage

[Margaret Turner]

In Family View, for one of the spouses, click on the spouses icon

From Help
Setting a Spouse as Preferred
To move the Preferred setting to a different spouse, highlight the
spouse you want to set as Preferred and click Set to Preferred in the
lower left corner.

A Preferred spouse is the spouse automatically shown when their
husband or wife is selected or displayed on the Family or Pedigree
View as you navigate through your ancestors and descendants.  This
avoids having to ask which spouse to display each time you change
generations.  The spouse that is currently set as Preferred has an
asterisk in the P column of the Spouse List.


On 27 February 2013 12:30, Brian L. Lightfoot br...@the-lightfoots.com wrote:
 I was a little puzzled about the answer here, namely that the preferred 
 spouse needs to be listed at the top of the sort order. A quick check of the 
 Legacy Help System says A Preferred spouse is the spouse automatically shown 
 when their husband or wife is selected or displayed on the Family or Pedigree 
 View as you navigate through your ancestors and descendants.. Note that 
 there is no mention of the requirement to move the preferred spouse to the 
 top. I always thought that the Spouse List was merely a means of keeping 
 the chronological order correct as it would show in various reports and in 
 the human brain.

 So, I played around in the sandbox a little. Went to somebody that was 
 married several times. As I re-designated a different spouse as the 
 preferred one, I jumped elsewhere in the file and then came back. Each and 
 every time, the preferred spouse is the one that would automatically display 
 regardless of the sort order. Not surprising because, after all, that's just 
 what preferred is supposed to do.

 So back to the OP's message. He claims he has changed the preferred 
 designation but Legacy is not following its own rule. That indeed would seem 
 to indicate that something is wrong. I suspect the OP is not following the 
 procedure correctly to designate someone as a preferred spouse. Maybe a 
 little more follow-up from the OP would be in order.

Individual Event-Name Equal-to Newspaper

Event-Description Equal to   (i.e. there is no description, left

would find only those that had a description.

I did the Access/OpenOffice/Libra workaround to find the event number

field.

Then did Search with Event-Description Equal to XX

Sledge hammer approach, but madly trying to clean up my data.

Re: [LegacyUG] Displaying URL window

Jane,

I think what you have to do is open Legacy.
Up in the top right corner of the window (just left of the X to exit
you will see a square.
Click on that and resize your legacy window so it fits only half of
your monitor.

Open your browser, repeat the same operation to resize the window so
it fits in the other half of your monitor.

This is an image of one of my monitors with half Legacy and half
browser (I use Chrome).

https://plus.google.com/photos/103082608590026054951/albums/5791475675120541681

Re: [LegacyUG] Adding IPTC information to scanned documents and images

[Margaret Turner]

IPTC is  International Press Telecommunications Council
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Press_Telecommunications_Council

IPTC is saving captions, source, etc on the image itself.
http://www.rideau-info.com/photos/labelling.html

Legacy will import the IPTC caption.

Use free programs such as
- irfan http://www.irfanview.com - as well in batch mode -
http://www.irfanview.com/faq.htm#Q6
- xnview http://www.xnview.com/

If you have previously put this information on your images, the deluxe
version of ltools
http://zippersoftware.com/wp/ltools/current-ltools-features/deluxe-ltools-features/
has the option:
Get IPTC Data – copies IPTC Caption from JPGs to the Legacy Caption field,
or if in this  information is in Legacy and you want to update the IPTC on
the image then use the ltools option:
Set IPTC Data – copies Legacy Caption, Desc, Date, FileID, Surnames, and

 Take a look at the chart on the Ancestor tab in Reports.  That's basic
 names, dates and locations.

 What you're referring to is the book report, which is much larger.

Re: [LegacyUG] new feature suggestion: Connector line indicate blood-line

[Margaret Turner]

I use the Legacy Charting (Deluxe)  with the DNA option for medical history.

Hint - if eg you need the female mtDNA line,
first select the Descendant Chart.
Once you have this descendant chart, you can ten change the chart type to
be eg Female mtDNA.

Re: [LegacyUG] Caption under image

[Margaret Turner]

Another possibility is to copy your Legacy captions to the images themelves
is to use a deluxe feature of Ltools
http://zippersoftware.com/wp/ltools/current-ltools-features/deluxe-ltools-features/

Set IPTC Data – copies Legacy Caption, Desc, Date, FileID, Surnames, and
UserIDs/RINs from Legacy to the attached JPEG’s IPTC fields.

This will add IPTC data directly to each .jpg image

Some references re IPTC
http://www.rideau-info.com/genealogy/digital/label.html
http://genealogy.about.com/b/2007/11/12/labeling-photos-with-iptc.htm

Cheers

PS. For those who have the IPTC data, ltools deluxe does have
Get IPTC Data – copies IPTC Caption from JPGs to the Legacy Caption field.

Re: [LegacyUG] location of picture

[Margaret Turner]

Master Source List
go to the source with the census image attached
Edit
left tab Pictures tab will have an * - click on the pictures tab
click on the image
down in the bottom right hand corner you'll find the image name .jpg

Use Windows explorer to find the .jpg on your drive.

Another way:
Options | Customise | Locations
View Current List of Multimedia Locations
this will list all the file paths used
if not many then search in these directories/folder paths

 I've never been able to get FamilySearch to work with Legacy so maybe this

 I've never tried it because they don't offer a trial to see what they've
 got.



 Do we need an update for this to work?  I didn't find one and wondered how
 do we access FamilyLink from within the program.

Re: [LegacyUG] Potential Problems report

[Margaret Turner]

PS. I use upper case for all surnames and do not have this error

So it may have been dates rather than Surnames in upper case
In date fields, double prefixes such as Born before 1853 or Died
after 1903 can also cause run-time error 3260.

The solution for the date problem is change them to single prefix
dates such as “Before 1853” or “After 1903” from a Search List. Click
on Search on the menu bar and select Find. Next click the
Miscellaneous tab, then select 'All records with bad dates' and click
Create List. Fix the bad dates.

Re: [LegacyUG] Charting - Change to US Date formats

[Margaret Turner]

Thanks Sherry. I'm a happy little Aussie very content with European
format. I was printing a chart for an American friend so thought it
would be nice to customise it for their US eyes :)

Thanks for the reply

:)

 At this time, what you see is what you get.

 I never thought of the formats as European vs American.  I've always
 used the 21 Nov 1853 format in my genealogy research as that was the way I
 was taught to do it when I first started in the late 1960's and it appears
 to be a genealogy standard.

 When recording dates, use the accepted European standard of DAY, MONTH
 (spelled out) and four digit YEAR. This is different, for example, than most
 Americans are used to entering dates. Do not enter dates using a number
 format. If you enter a date as 02/01/01, people will not know if you meant
 February 1 or January 2 or if you meant 1801, 1901 or 2001. Example: 30
 June, 1993

 So I can only print charts in European date format regardless?

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy won't open in Windows 7

[Margaret Turner]

Cathie,

Do you see Legacy in the start menu?

If Yes, right click
  Properties
  Compatability tab
   tick the Run this in XP Mode

Also when you right click the Legacy in Start Menu you may need to
Run as Administrator

:)

Margaret

PS. I have Win 7 64 bit, and Legacy Deluxe and I do not compatability
checked and  Run as Administrator enabled

 You might need to set it to Compatibility Mode for a previous version of 
 Windows.  I've had to do this for a number of programs including Legacy under 
 Windows 7.

 When I click on either the desktop icon or the .exe program in the files

 What should I do?

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy won't open in Windows 7

[Margaret Turner]

Helen,

The start menu is the Windows circle logo is at the very left of
the status bar (running across the bottom of the screen).

Hope your PC gets fixed OK.

:)

Margaret


2010/1/3  ci...@treadles.ca:
 There is no start menu on my version of Windows 7. I can only start it
 by clicking on the desktop icon or by clicking on Legacy.exe in the
 files list in Windows Explorer.

 I did try the Compatibility Mode thing but it hung and I had to reboot.

 It's all moot at the moment because the computer won't boot up and will
 have to go into the shop on Monday. I'll try deleting everything and
 re-installing when it comes back.

 If I have any further problems, don't worry, I'll ask here. (-:

Re: [LegacyUG] Adding homosexual partner in Legacy.

[Margaret Turner]

Luis,

There a 2 ways.

1. Export to a gedcom file only the partners involved (eg. tag the 2
records involved and export these tagged ecords). Change the sex on
the gedcom file of one of the partners  (using a  text editor) then
import this gedcom file back into your legacy file so that you have a
same sex marriage.
More details here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/msg35203.html

2. If you have Access or OpenOffice then you can modify the sex on the
tblIR file/table.
More details here: http://www.moss-fritch.com/legacy.htm

 I would like to know how to ADD in Legacy, a homosexual partner to either a

 This is not intended to start a discussion as to whether such practices are
 condoned by anybody, religious or otherwise.

 This is a technical matter on how to use the Legacy Software.

Re: [LegacyUG] Repeated Problem with Legacy on Vista

[Margaret Turner]

Dave,

Have you tried updating and/or reinstalling the printer driver for
your default printer?

I think Legacy should detect whatever you have as the defalt printer.

:)

 I use Vista and have Legacy Build 7.0.0.109

 Which was working correctly before, but now each time I open Legacy the
 'Select Report Fonts' window opens, then an error message Legacy can't find
 any printer defined for use with Windows. You will not be able to print any
 reports until you define a printer.

 Despite repeated uninstall/reinstall while my Norton Internet Security is
 disabled (advice from Legacy) the problem is still not fixed.

 I have removed any unusual programs, and nothing has been added since Legacy
 last worked correctly.
 I have switched printers using the Control Panel.
 On the Legacy Users archives, only one other similar problem, but this
 appears to have fixed itself.

 The message implies I need to define a printer for use with Windows.

 Can someone explain how to do this?

 Dave

Re: [LegacyUG] Add an Event Census to Everyone

[Margaret Turner]

Deborah,

I spent sometime tidying up my data. I have  3500, which I started
first using Legacy in the late 1990's.

Whilst in the Census Event Address for the street number street name ,
I use also
http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/geocoder/
to enter in the details for longitude and latitude. I have to admit my
brain sometimes gets confused between Legacy N/S and E/W settings when
the geocoder returns +/- ;)

BTW may I suggest you make your postings text only.

:)

 I started out with the old Generations program and then moved to Legacy
 about 2 years ago. I love Legacy, but of course imported from my old program
 rather than entering everyone by hand. I suppose this happens to plenty of
 us, eh?
 Thanks for the clear explanation of how you manage census records!

 I click on the image icon for that event to attach the census image

 I click on the house/phone icon to enter in the street no and street

 I click on the source icon (generally swith a simple title eg UK 1851

 I click on the copy icon.

 I go to each other individual named on the census
 Add Event

 I have then one event per person per census event.

 I have been assigning all of my census records to the event category

 However, when I started using GedView on my iPhone today, I realized
 that none of these census records sources were exported via gedcom.
 This has caused me to reconsider how I'm assigning census sources. The
 only solution I've come up with is to create an event for each
 individual called census and then assign the census records to that
 event.
 Is this the best way to assign census records as sources?
 What event or category do other people use to assign census records?
 Is is possible to add an event (census) to all the people in my file at
 one time?
 Thanks in advance for your help!
