[LegacyUG] converting and/or printing from RTF format
Hello everyone, I created a Descendants Book report (which is actually a chapter for a collateral line), then I downloaded it from Legacy as an RTF file so it could be edited. I've completed the editing process and know that I have the option of either printing the file or just saving it as a Word document or as a PDF file. That said, what I'd like to do is take the edited file and save it in Legacy so that I can later use it (as a chapter in sequence) for a Book created in the Publishing Center. (I hope I am wording this question correctly.) Can the rtf edited file be put back into Legacy and how would I accomplish this? Any input would be appreciated.

Re: [LegacyUG] converting and/or printing from RTF format
You cannot include a document file, like your edited rtf file, in any Legacy reports directly. Using the Pub centre you can reserve space in the Legacy report for the rtf document using the place holder but you will have to manually print the rtf file outside of Legacy. The other alternative is to use the special text entry chapter but I cannot guarantee that the document format which you spent all that time creating would be preserved. The special text entry is just that (text with the very limited options Legacy supports for text such as bold, underline, italic etc.).

Re: [LegacyUG] converting and/or printing from RTF format
Hi Brian, Legacy does a great job of nesting the TOC and Index when downloading to the RTF format. Would a better option instead of my downloading chapters be for me to create the entire Descandants Book report, download it in the RTF format for editing, then print. This way the TOC, sequence of footnotes and the Index would remain in tact?
