Re: [LegacyUG] Shared Events
Hello Jan Have you tried editing the shared role sentences in the event definition? Regards Mike Hoping there is a way to sort something out. I use shared events > extensively and would like to replace wording on my shared events from > wife, daughter, son etc of ‘head of household’ to wife, daughter, son etc > of ‘head of family’.

Re: [LegacyUG] MyHeritage 50% off offer question
This appears a very attractive offer. Unfortunately it seems it is not open to those who, like myself, already have an account with MyHeritage. I would willingly take up the offer in an instant if some means were available to either append the 12 months to my existing subscription; or alternatively to cancel my existing subscription and allow me a pro rata credit against the Legacy users offer; or even to flag my MH membership in some way such that I could have the continuing Legacy discount from the date of my next renewal. I am sure none of these would be too hard to accomplish. -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/
RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy EVERNOTE webinar
Gary You can save a link to an Evernote note into the Legacy Media Gallery as follows. You must first get the link from Evernote by right clicking on the note in the note list pane of Evernote, then select ‘Copy Note Link’. Next in Legacy: • open the Media Gallery for the item you want to add the media (Evernote note) to • select Add Media - Internet Website • paste into the Website URL field the Evernote link you copied earlier • fill in the other fields and click OK Double clicking on the Media Gallery item will now open the note either in a browser or in Evernote. Hope this is what you wanted to do.
