Morning,Linking files is an ok idea, but if your main hard drive dies or you
move files, the link becomes invalid. That said, here is what to do - this also
works for cloud accounts such as dropbox. If, for instance, I want to link a
pdf with a list of folks in Nebraska that are part of my family, here is what
to do.1. Locate the file using Win Explorer2. It is on my external Drive G in a
folder.3. Right click on the file and copy the nameAncS-AirAllegPA.pdfThen
Right click and copy the path:G:\Ship-Air1914-62/ Combine the
two:G:\Ship-Air1914-62/AncS-AirAllegPA.pdfCopy the link to your Person in the
Notes Section of Legacy If the file is in your DropBox.Open Win
ExplC:\Users\MarthaAG\DropboxC:\Users\MarthaAG\Dropbox\Legacy If you have a
separate folder for Documents in your DB Legacy folder, the path is as above.
If the file is online, access the file and copy the link, inserting it into
your notes.But, be careful, the fluid nature of the web tells us that stuff can
go away. And if you have files on RootsWeb, be careful. They lost tons of data
with the recent hardware failure. MarthaIn Los Osos, CA

Re: [LegacyUG] Linking files
On the Family View page, there is a row of icons below the vital statistics of each individual. The icon that is a picture frame with two images inside is the Media Gallery. Click on that icon. In Legacy 7.5, next click on the icon for Picture, Sound, Video, or File. In Legacy 8, next click on the tab Add Media, and a drop-down menu lists the types of media you can link. The list includes Picture, Sound, Video, Document, Internet Website, and Scan a Picture.

If you want to link them rather than put everything into Legacy, create a Word
Docx file or PDF file in a folder on your computer and link that file to the
individual. The file could contain the contents of the blog or essay.
If it is an internet file, you can simply put the url as the source for
Unspecified. That comes before all the Event source spots in Legacy 7.5.

Ross,
If you want them in reports, then you'll have to copy and paste into Notes -
General, Event ... whichever is appropriate. Then make sure you've opted to
include that Note type in your report.

Is my question clear? Are there any suggestions or pointers?
