I expect Legacy is just keeping up with the times, but it will be a
loss in productivity  for some users.

You can still find used Avant Stellar keyboards - a classic and
probably the best keyboard for a professional typist ever built
(function keys on left!).  My Avant Stellar is about 13 years old and
still in perfect condition.  See image of the Avant Stellar keyboard,
from pcmag,  here:

 Yes, especially since if you're looking for a replacement keyboard you'll
 only find one that is similar to a laptop keyboard.  No raised keys and a
 space bar from hell that adds errors.  I think they make them for people who
 don't know how to type.  For us professionals who have typed for many years,
 it's rather difficult to find a real keyboard like they used to make several
 years ago.

For old keyboards you want to deal with a company that repairs them
and has the parts.  Otherwise if a part fails, you are out of luck.

 *New version 8.0 Continues 15-Years of Innovation and Quality; Now Offers
 Migration Mapping, Shared Events, Origins/Migration Reports and a Host of
 New Features*

 *[image: 
 Buybutton-144]*http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/whatsnew8.asp#compare

 *[image: 
 Legacy8RetailBox3DLarge]*http://news.legacyfamilytree.com/.a/6a00d8341d219b53ef019b0158cfdb970c-piSURPRISE,
 Arizona, November 26, 2013. Millennia Corporation, a leader in family
 history software, today announced the release of Legacy Family Tree 8.0.
 The new release contains dozens of significant new features and
 enhancements, including migration mapping, instant duplicate checking,
 origins and migration reports, potential problem alerts, and shared events.

 In one software package, Legacy Family Tree 8.0 provides tools to help
 users record their family's history, organize their pictures, perform their
 research, and share their findings.

 Legacy Family Tree 8.0 continues to raise the bar of family history
 software, said David Berdan, president of Millennia Corporation. Its new
 source quality tool, source labels, citations on Pedigree Charts and shared
 events give serious researchers the tools they need, while the new reports,
 charts, and family statistics get the entire family excited about their
 history.

 The following new and updated features add to Legacy's list of robust
 capabilities:

 ·*Origins Report* - See where you came from and the percentage of
 blood you have from your countries of origin with the new Origins Report.

 ·*Migration Report *- See how far and wide a person's descendants
 spread out in the world with the new Migration Report.

 ·*Migration Mapping* - Legacy animates the ancestor's movement
 through time. Watch how they migrated from place to place. View their
 migration in street, aerial, or 3D modes. Hover over the balloon to see
 what happened in each location.

 ·*Instant Duplicate Checking* - As you are adding new individuals to
 your tree, Legacy instantly checks to see if perhaps they are already in
 your family file, helping you avoid inadvertently adding duplicates.

 ·*Potential Problem Alerts and Gaps* - Typos and accidental
 misinterpretation of data are now a thing of the past. The warning symbol
 is displayed immediately next to info that contains a potential problem.
 Unusual gaps of time are detected that you may have not previously noticed
 (like too many years between the births of the children).

 ·*Shared Events* - Save time and avoid errors by sharing an event
 amongst all the individuals who participated in the event. You can specify
 each person's role in the event.

 ·*Family Bow Tie Chart* - Displays the ancestors of both the husband
 and wife, as well as their children.

 ·*Descendant Chart* - Now available in left-to-right formatting.

 ·*Source Quality* - Now record the quality (original vs derivative,
 primary vs secondary, etc., direct vs indirect) of each source as you
 attempt to prove your conclusions.

 ·*Source Labels* - Now print Source Labels to attach to the top of
 your documents. You will never again lose the citation when making a
 photocopy for someone else.

 ·*Source Clipboard* - The Source Clipboard has been expanded to load
 up to five different citations that can be assigned at the click of a
 button.

 ·*Pedigree Citations* - Add source citations to your Pedigree Charts,
 and attach the complete bibliography.

 ·*FamilySearch Integration* - Share, discuss, download and interact
 with FamilySearch's Family Tree (optional).

 ·*Wall Charts* - Duplicate lines can now be suppressed, saving room
 for more photographs and captions.

 ·*Chronology View* - Now view the parent's, grandparent's,
 children's, and grandchildren's vital events in your ancestor's timeline.

 ·*User Interface* - Enjoy Legacy's modernized look-and-feel, new
 color schemes, and new ribbon menu bar. Add two additional custom buttons
 on the new My Toolbar.

 ·*Tagging* - View up to 9 tags at once. Advanced Tagging now shows
 the counts of each tag.

Cathy -

Note you can only 'Save' the chart in the Legacy chart format, but
must' Export' it to get it into another format - like pdf. This is the
sequence I used:  Create the chart  click on Publish on top menu 
tick export to PDF  press Calculate button and select 'View after
Exporting.'  The chart opened in Adobe without a problem.  Let us know
if that works for you.

Re: [LegacyUG] Produce a Tree Chart/Report with specific events

2013-10-26 Thread Virginia Blakelock
Kathy -

You can get an idea from the examples on the VCF forum of the types of
charts that RM and TMG create - more freeform and customizable  than
Legacy - but for your purposes, RM is the better choice.  TMG has 37
options for the display of each event in the chart (whether to include
the memo, use abbreviations, etc.), making for more of a learning
curve.  In RM you get a list of events and select the ones you want.

 RM allows all events, including custom, up to 8 data lines in a box.
 TMG - which uses the same underlying charting software as TMG, though
 with more editing options - allows all events up to 9 data lines.
 Both have free trial versions if you want to GEDCOM your data over to
 make a chart.  TMG has a forum dedicated to charts (the Visual
 ChartForm forum) with many examples.

 Maybe Legacy v8 charting will have more flexibility in the allowable
 data; the preview of Legacy v8 indicated that there will be some new
 features in the charting module.  There is an option once you are in
 Legacy Charting to add a few more details about basic  (birth,
 marriage, death)  events (not custom events), but I could not get it

  If I'm understanding you correctly, you want to add information to the

  In Legacy Charting you can manipulate any chart--alter the size of

  If you go to Help and enter custom chart in the search window, quite a

 Will the Legacy 8 convert the shared facts into a standard fact format

Designating someone as a candidate for a relationship is common
practice in gen research - and having the ability to include that info
in the software in a standardized format can be helpful to the serious
genealogist.  Where I have seen that option in gen software, there is
little chance of confusion or misunderstanding.

Depending upon the level of user interest of course, certainly a valid
suggestion.

Rightclick on the Legacy icon and 'run as administrator' (note this is

Re: [LegacyUG] Handling large charts

2013-05-27 Thread Virginia Blakelock
Dave -

Can you download the driver for that specific plotter, make it your
default printer, and print the file to that plotter  instead of a PDF
file?   Your friend could then use that file to print the chart.

An alternative used in several of the other genealogy software
programs for large charts is to use one of the free virtual PDF
printers like CutePDF, Bullzip, PDF995.  First you create your chart,
make a note of the dimensions, save the chart (as a Legacy chart file)
and exit the program.  You then make the virtual PDF printer your
default printer in Printers and Devices and set the paper size there
before opening Legacy and printing the chart to that printer.  CutePDF
may have the largest paper size.

Re: [LegacyUG] Handling large charts

Ron -

JPG is extremely poor quality for chart output and not recommended.
Photos and text will be grainy - particularly noticeable in a large
chart.  The genealogy software native chart output is best quality;
second is PDF to a virtual printer or to a plotter.   If Dave has the
plotter driver, he can format his chart for that printer and then
'print' the chart to that printer (first making it his default
printer) and take the resultant file to the friend for printing.

There are detailed instructions 'To print to a plotter' in the second
message in this FTM chart thread:

 plotter at the size you require.

That is a Windows fix, associating a file extension with a particular

2013-05-07 Thread Virginia Blakelock
As Jay said:

From the Menu  OptionsCustomize Launch Word Processor, you have the 
correct path for Legacy to find the exe file for your WordPerfect??

You will want to navigate to the .exe file in Windows Explorer to get
the full path.  The path will be similar (mine is Win7) to the one for
WPX11 in the screenshot below (click on Full Size at the top to view).

http://screencast.com/t/uoxDJFuVM

This works for me.  After you save your report file to .rtf, Legacy
will ask if you want to open your word processor and it does just
that.  I'd be interested to know how well the rtf translates in WPx5.

Thanks, Jay

Laverne -

There is an example of a chart showing both the biological family and
the adopted family here:

http://www.familytreemagazine.com/upload/images/pdf/adoptiontree.pdf

This is similar in appearance to a bow-tie chart in Legacy.   You
could create one side from your Legacy bio data and then manually edit
the text in the other side for the adopted data.  Color the sides
differently, with a legend explaining which color is bio and which is
adopted.

Re: [LegacyUG] How to join family files in Legacy

2013-05-02 Thread Virginia Blakelock
Wendy -

I'll be the dissenting voice.  I have 4 separate projects - my parents
and my husband's parents.  The families lived in different parts of
the country and there is no overlap.  Our children's records are with
my husband's surname.  I've been doing this for about 20 years and
never had a problem. Early on I merged them on a trial basis and
disliked it intensely.  When I am working on a family I go into their
environment - where they lived and their local sources.  Projects are
small and easy to manage.  For me there is no downside.  Most
genealogists disagree, so it is bucking tradition.  Do what you are
comfortable with; you're the one who will put in the time and effort
entering the data.

I'll let someone else advise you on what to do now - but programs like
Legacy or TMG or RM6 - which contain multiple interrelated data files

Only backups (a single file) should be synced.

I would not uninstall or change anything.  Download Fixit and follow
its lead.  As I recall you just tell it the program with which you are
having a problem and it analyzes the situation.  It is safe to use and
can't hurt anything.

 Did support have you check the eventviewer error log?  If not, it is
very easy.  For Windows7:

1 - In Start - Search,  type eventvwr  (that is an abbreviation and is
correct to enter).

2 - Go to Windows log / Application tab

3.  Look in the leftmost column for critical errors - like the red
exclamation point in this screenshot example (click on Full Size to
view the screenshot):

4.  That may give you a clue as well as an ID in the Event ID column.
You can then Google for Event ID 10 - or whatever ID you find.

Re: [LegacyUG] Font control

John -

In the righthand column of the Event Report window is an option/button
to Change Fonts.  I went down the list of items to Include and changed
every font to Liberation Mono.  I believe this is just a more
contemporary version of a monospaced font than Courier.  The font
change seems to affect only the Event report.

When you are choosing a font, at the bottom of the window is a note
whether it is an Open Type font which will be used on both your
printer and your screen -  or a screen font in which case the closest
matching printer font will be used for printing.  Courier is a screen
font; Courier New is an Open Type font.  I think you will want an Open
Type font rather than a screen font for your report.
