Re: [LegacyUG] Error in new version
Here is a dumb question before the group is finished with the discussion of the check/repair. I am fairly new to Legacy. I use it only on my computer -- not anything uploaded to the internet.

[LegacyUG] Reports using d'Aboville Numbers
As long as we are talking about various reports with various numbers, one of the reasons that I chose Legacy when I got a new computer and needed to change my software, was because Legacy offered d'Aboville numbers. I have a (descendant) book of my family tree which used those. It came out in 1950. It has a column for the number and then the name and information about that person is in the second column. You can tell by the number, just how the person fits into the family. For husbands who married into the family, there is an "h" after the wife's number. For the wife who married in, there is a "w" after the husband's number. A first wife is designated "w (1)" and the second wife is designated "w (2)", etc.. It is a wonderful system. Legacy uses d'Aboville numbers in the descendant chart, but there is no separate column for the number, so it all merges together and is not so easy to read. Also, there is no option to use the d'Aboville numbers in a descendant book if you wanted to include all of the information that you had about individuals. Wish Legacy would make improvements in the use of the d'Aboville numbers.

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant Report - in Word, etc. ?
Thanks, Wendy. That is very helpful! Priscilla From: Wendy Howard To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Friday, March 6, 2015 1:59 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant Report - in Word, etc. ? Hi Priscilla, When you create web pages in Legacy, they are placed where you tell Legacy where to put them - usually the hard drive of the computer you're working on. As others have said, they won't be online until you upload them to a site. However, when you open any of the pages they will open in your web browser - that's how they work. If you've got more than one browser installed, they will open in the browser set as the default one unless you specify for them to open in another. When you've got a page from Legacy open in your browser, take a look at the address bar - that will tell you where the page resides. If it is on your computer, the address will start with c: or d: or something similar. If it is online, it will start http:// If the address (also called a URL) is too long to show the whole line on your screen, it may show the end or the beginning. If you want to see the other end, click on the address (or press Ctrl-L) and then press the Home key to see the beginning, or the End key to see the end. Hope this helps. :-) Wendy Stu and Priscilla Fanning wrote on 6/03/2015 16:13: > Thanks for all of your answers, Charani. > > Thank you for letting me know that the document is not online.

Thanks for all of your answers, Charani. Thank you for letting me know that the document is not online. I use Chrome for internet. In order to go to the document where I had saved it in my computer, I had to click on an icon that looked like the one for Chrome, so figured that it was online. I think I have figured out how to change the line length when using Text file. I see that it has a box after those words with 80 in it. I have changed that number several times...now to 170. It is far better. I made the report with the page in landscape and then copied it and pasted it into Word. There are still some things to fix once it is in Word, but at least that can be done.

You can reset the line length yourself. Everything on your computer and everything you use on your computer has a default, which are the "factory" settings. You can pretty much change those to whatever you want, so if the default line length is, say, 60 characters, you can change that to 80 characters or whatever you want. > More than that, though, it seems like the document is online.

Any thoughts? Again you can reset the line length yourself. Have a look in the settings. Look but don't do anything at first! See what there is, then change what you want to but remember what you've changed. Legacy is one of those lovely programs that allows you to reset to the defaults if you get in a muddle :) Bear in mind an HTML/RTF document is at least four times larger than a plain text document. You won't see all the coding on your computer but it's there. If your document isn't how you'd like, save it as it is, then make a copy and have a fiddle around with it to get it to be the way you want. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Ashcott, Shapwick, Greinton and Clutton, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://support.legacyfamilytree.com Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant Report - in Word, etc. ?
Thank you to Gerald, Cathy, and Mary for your suggestions. I tried the html first. I have two concerns. One is that the lines seem to wrap the text before necessary -- in other words the lines are short and then go on to the next line leaving a large space on the right side of the document. More than that, though, it seems like the document is online. Maybe I should have understood that before making it, but I did not. I don't have permission from my family to put all of this information online. How do I remove it?? I also tried the text file. This also seems to keep all of the text on the left side of the page, wrapping the text before necessary. Any thoughts?

Hi Priscilla, You can save any of the book reports to .rtf which is rich text format which will open in any word processor. However, it sounds like you want a Descendant Chart with the option chosen to pack information on one line. This can be saved to either html or txt. Both can be opened in Word. The Descendant Chart with the option to include marriage date and spouse's parents, with format - pack information on one line is a great report. These choices to save in other formats are below the Preview/Print button and are made before you click the Preview button and then the Print button changes into a Create button.

Re: [LegacyUG] RUNTIME ERROR 5 again
I hate to be so out of it, but do these errors only happen when folks have Legacy connected to the internet and Family Search or can these things happen even when a person is just using Legacy within their own computer? I am wondering what to worry about and what I don't need to even consider. I just use the program within my computer.

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. I hate it when I cannot find something!!

[LegacyUG] Adding a spouse
I would like to add a wife to a man in my family tree. This is a first wife. It seems that I cannot just type in the name...is that correct? I have already put in the marriage date because I thought that might make it easier to understand how to do this. Yes, I have looked at help, but did not understand any of that either. When I try to add the wife, I get a box asking if I want to add a new person or link to an existing person. I want to link to the husband who is already in my family tree...but I want to add a new person. Which one do I choose??

Re: [LegacyUG] Fwd: Descendant Narrative Book
Just a crazy notion from someone who has very little clue about Legacy, but what if you copy the research notes to a Word document or something, delete the research notes, print the DNB (pdf) checking to see if it comes out the way you want it to, and then go back and copy from Word/document and paste the research notes back to Legacy?

[LegacyUG] Backing up family file and what to do with the backup
I understand that it is a good idea to backup my family file on a separate drive. I have been able to do that. It gives the family file name, date and time, and that it is a compressed (zipped) file. When I look in my hard drive, I see files that have a circle at the beginning with an L in it. The file type for those is Legacy Genealogy Software. Then for some of my family files I also have GED, Text Document, and TC files. For some other family files I have those 4 files plus FG file. And for another, those 5 files plus a PPL file. When I am looking at a family file in Legacy and wish to open another family file, I am offered only the circles with the L -- the Legacy Genealogy Software type of files -- not all of the type of files that are in the hard drive. That seems to work and what I have added to a file seems to be there after closing the file and opening it again. * What are all of these files -- GED, Text Document, TC, FG, and PPL ? * At what point do I need to use the compressed (zipped) file and how do I open that ? When I am using family file "B" and want to go to family file "A" which I have saved, I look in the other drive and it does not show up. There is no possibility of finding a compressed (zipped) file. That is not a type of file that is listed to open. Also, how many of these zipped files do other people keep? Do you delete some of the older ones after you've saved the next one?

Re: [LegacyUG] Switch From FTM 2014
I thought I would send this again since I have not received any answers. I would appreciate anyone's information on the subject -- getting rid of the spaces within words in the notes sections when I move my family tree from Family Tree Maker 2006 to Legacy 8. -- do I need to start over with the GEDCOM or do I start with where I am in Legacy? Either way, how do I tell Legacy to make the words with the correct spacing?

Re: [LegacyUG] Switch From FTM 2014

Re: [LegacyUG] Switch From FTM 2014
I switched from FTM, but 2006 or somewhere back there. I am still in the process of moving over to Legacy 8 via GEDCOM. My trees are much smaller, and I am certainly not a Legacy architect. I am just bumbling along. So far, I have noticed that in the General Notes, there are a lot of spaces in the middle of words that need to be fixed. In trying the Descendant Narrative Book Report, some information comes out in a strange and less than complete form. I believe it was the area in FTM where you could put in "Religion", "Residence", "Occupation", or "Education", etc. and then a date and information. In the Legacy report I get "She had a religion between 1943 and 1950. She had a religion between 1975 and 1995." "He had a residence between 1943 and 1965." I figured that my only option was to rewrite this information and put it into the General Notes. If anyone has any better ideas, I'd love to hear them. I don't have tons of this sort of information in my trees, but it would be easier if I did not have to rewrite.

Re: [LegacyUG] Gender question
Thanks, Sherry. I guess when I do a report, I could also make it Rich Text and then change all of the "he"s to "she"s or the other way around.

[LegacyUG] Gender question
Hi, Is there a way when adding a marriage, to have both spouses male or both spouses female? I have not figured out how to do that. If not, is that something being considered to add to the options available?

[LegacyUG] d'Aboville Numbers
I have deleted the previous e-mails concerning this, so I cannot simply reply, but here is what Brian said on the subject: The Help is incorrect. It is the Descendant Chart not the Descendant Narrative report that can use d'Aboville numbers. I have submitted a problem report to have the Help amended. There is an enhancement request to add the d/Aboville numbering system to the Descendant Narrative and Descendant Book reports but that is still outstanding. Brian Customer Support Millennia Corporation br...@legacyfamilytree.com http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com My additional question/thought is, how can it be requested that when the d'Aboville numbering system is added to the Descendant Narrative and Descendant Book reports, that there would be an option to put the numbers into their own column on the left side of each page, with the information about the person in a separate column on the right side of each page? The way it seems to be now, the numbers are just before each name and do not stand out very well from the name and information about each person. I don't know if it is just Support people who make requests for enhancements or how that works.

[LegacyUG] Two family trees open at once
Is there a way to have two Legacy family trees open at once on my computer? I have a number of family trees and would like to have two open at once -- side by side -- on my screen. I realize that having more than one tree is not what many of you do, but that's the way it is here -- at this point, anyway -- and has been working well. I was able to do that with my previous software, but cannot figure out yet with Legacy.

Re: [LegacyUG] Receiving no e-mails from the Legacy User Group
Thank you, Wendy, for pointing out that you replied not only to the group, but also directly to me. I looked back, and Cheryl also kindly sent her reply in the same way. Now I realize that because you two sent directly to me, that is the only reason that I received your messages. Thanks, Wendy, for mentioning that I need to contact Legacy Support. I will do that.

[LegacyUG] d'Aboville numbers
Hi, I would like to do family reports in descendant order using the d'Aboville numbers. I have a family tree from 1950 which uses this format and find it very easy to understand the connections between the family members. I would like to include all of the information that I have about the family members -- events, etc.. I would be interested to hear if others have used this numbering system along with the Legacy software. My ideal report would have the d'Aboville number in a column on the left side of the page with the remainder of the information -- name, dates, events -- in a second column on the right side of the page.
