Re: [LegacyUG] Repeating info and direct line
Hi again Mike Sorry I was hasty on my reply had my little grandson on my lap, and am also using a Mac computer, which does not always cross over with the same key functions. After reading your info I tried the F key, but had not got my Mac which also used Parallels, set to use the F keys. Had not realised you need to manually change this function. I did some reading and found I need to go into system apparently and change the function for this. Am fiddling with this now and hopefully it shall work in some way now. Thanks for your time with this Much appreciated. Gwen On 11/02/2011, at 3:57 AM, Mike Fry wrote: > On 2011/02/09 04:42, Noddie wrote: >> Sorry not it has not worked for me.

Other Shortcut Keys From the Family View, Pedigree View, Information, Marriage and Notes windows, you can press F4 to display the Sources window. From the Family View, Pedigree View, Information and Marriage windows, you can press F5 to display the Notes window. From any Note field, you can press F7 to start the spell checker.

You can also press Shift-F9 to memorize any location field and F9 to play the memorized field back to any other location field. (Shift-F11 / F11 and Shift F12 / F12 also work the same way to memorize and play back field entries.)

Re: [LegacyUG] Repeating info and direct line
Gwen, Actually if the information for the field you are on is the same as the previous person then all you have to do is click on the fields label and it will put the same information in that field. If the information is not the same as the previous person but was used before then you can right-click on the label and get a list of the last 10 entries for that field. This procedure also works for the events screen, which makes it fast to enter the same event for several different individuals. Just open or create an event with the info that you want, then when you create a new event for a different individual with the same event type, just click each label of the event and it will fill in the field with last info used for that field.

You might like to make use of the Help system installed along with the program. Press F1 (one of your beloved F-keys) and then do an Index search for Shortcut keys. You should then come across a page entitled Shortcut Keys and buried in there are lots of key combinations you can play with to your heart's content :-) In particular, I suggest you look at the end of the paragraph entitled Other Shortcut Keys and read what it says about F9 and other variants. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg 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://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp

Re: [LegacyUG] Repeating info and direct line
Gwen, There are a number of ways of replicating something which has been previously typed. For example on the Individuals Screen right clicking the name of any field will give you the last 10 entries eg. right click on the "in" next to a location field will give you the last 10 entries for that field. When I first got the program, years ago, I right clicked on everything just to see what happens! It sounds, also, that you may not be familiar with the Source Clipboard, and i would suggest that you read this up in the Help Files and try it out.
